Case Study: White Star Petroleum achieves rapid, scalable cloud deployment and reduced hardware costs with TierPoint

Start Up White Star Petroleum Utilizes TierPoint’s Cloud to Meet Infrastructure Needs

White Star Petroleum, an Oklahoma City oil-and-gas start-up, needed a cost‑effective, scalable IT solution to support uncertain growth while operating with a minimal internal IT staff and meeting auditor/investor compliance requirements.

TierPoint deployed a VMware‑powered private cloud in its SSAE/SAS70‑certified data centers, handling planning, hardware, software and connectivity. The solution enabled rapid deployment, reduced hardware capex, delivered elastic resources that grew with the business, and later supported a hybrid environment while maintaining reliable performance.
