Case Study: Iocea achieves secure, scalable PCI-compliant managed ecommerce hosting with Pulsant

Trusted managing Hosting for Ecommerce Leaders

Iocea is an ecommerce developer that processes millions of pounds in orders annually and runs the Cshop platform on a PCI DSS Level 1 certified environment. Facing rapid growth and the launch of a small-business Cshop, Iocea needed to move off in‑house managed servers and rented rack space to a managed hosting partner to free internal resources, control costs and safeguard its PCI compliance — and selected Pulsant to provide Cloud Services/managed hosting.

Pulsant now supplies and manages 40 virtual and 7 dedicated host servers, using virtualization, robust SLAs and PCI‑aligned security to deliver scalability, fast failover and cost‑effective performance. The result is that Iocea can support thousands of concurrent visitors, process millions of pounds in transactions (with peak volumes rising up to tenfold at Christmas), maintain 24/7 availability and retain PCI DSS Level 1 status while reducing operational overhead and focusing on product development.
