Case Study: Kato achieves 75% lower TCO and better reliability with Pogo Linux

Kato improves customer satisfaction by migrating their business communication service from a cloud provider to their own servers, built by Pogo

Kato.im faced significant challenges with their cloud-based team collaboration platform, as their provider could not meet escalating network and uptime requirements without prohibitive costs, culminating in a multi-hour service outage. Seeking reliability, flexibility, and cost savings, CTO Peter Hizalev decided to bring their infrastructure in-house and partnered with Pogo Linux for server hardware and Linux expertise.

Pogo Linux implemented a solution using custom-configured servers with solid-state drives to handle Kato's high-volume workload. The result was a 75% reduction in total cost of ownership compared to the cloud, effortless deployment of new machines, and vastly improved service quality. This allowed Kato to focus resources on product development and customer satisfaction, giving them a significant competitive advantage.
