Case Study: EC-Council achieves $80,000 annual cost savings and improved reliability with Flexential Cloud and Recovery Cloud

E-commerce organization leverages public cloud and DRaaS to improve reliability and reduce costs

The International Council of E‑Commerce Consultants (EC‑Council), a provider of IT training and security certifications, faced an increasingly unwieldy, time‑ and cost‑intensive IT environment after growth and a company buyout. With legacy servers, frequent maintenance demands and limited internal resources, the organization needed a full technology refresh, consolidation and a disaster‑recovery solution it couldn’t handle alone.

Working with Flexential, EC‑Council migrated to a public cloud, adopted the Flexential Recovery Cloud DRaaS and added managed services, consolidating from 28 to 8 servers with zero downtime during the transition. The solution increased security and scalability, freed up internal IT staff for strategic work, and delivered roughly $80,000 in annual cost savings.
