Case Study: Charlotte Regional Business Alliance cuts IT costs and gains 24/7 hybrid IT support with Flexential

Charlotte Regional Business Alliance - Customer Case Study

The Charlotte Regional Business Alliance (CRBA), a growing nonprofit with a one-person IT team, was struggling with inefficient, costly server hosting outsourced to a colocation facility in Texas. Frequent shipping, long turnaround times for repairs and increasing program demands left the organization facing rising expenses and limited ability to maintain or scale its IT infrastructure.

CRBA moved its servers to the nearby Flexential Charlotte–South data center and adopted a hybrid mix of colocation, public cloud, storage, data protection and managed security from Flexential. The local facility let the IT lead handle routine maintenance directly, reduced shipping and outsourcing costs, and provided 24/7 expert support for complex issues—resulting in faster recovery, scalable services to support growth, and long-term peace of mind.
