Case Study: CareOregon achieves cost savings, enhanced security and scalability with Flexential

Data center consolidation results in cost savings, enhanced security and scalability

CareOregon is a Portland-based nonprofit that manages Medicaid and Medicare plans and focuses on community health. While reviewing its infrastructure the organization uncovered disaster-recovery vulnerabilities: its primary data center suffered power and cooling challenges, sat below the water table near fault lines, and its downtown location raised physical-security concerns, while an underused Colorado colocation acted only as an expensive off-site backup.

Partnering with Flexential, CareOregon migrated to a hybrid solution with its main servers in the Portland – Hillsboro 2 data center, gaining fault tolerance, full redundancy, 24/7 on-site support and high-density capacity (up to 1,700 W/sq ft). The move delivered lower power consumption and cost savings, enhanced disaster resilience and physical security, access to best‑in‑class infrastructure and renewable energy, and a scalable platform positioned for future growth.
