Case Study: TKXS achieves 25% colocation cost savings and improved reliability with Flexential

Increasing value to reduce colocation costs by 25%

TKXS, a Charlotte- and Research Triangle Park–based SaaS company that collects and analyzes large, multi-source agricultural datasets, needed a more reliable and cost-effective colocation partner as its eight-year contract ended. The company wanted to free IT staff for higher-value work, protect mission-critical customer data from infrastructure failures, meet strict compliance standards, and avoid long transfers given the size of its databases.

TKXS moved to a nearby Flexential data center that already met SSAE 16, PCI DSS and SOC reporting requirements and provided strong physical security, redundancy and bandwidth. The proximity enabled easier on-site maintenance and better support without extra remote-hands fees; TKXS realized about 25% lower colocation costs, greater reliability and peace of mind, and has renewed the relationship repeatedly.
