Case Study: Four51 (B2B eCommerce platform) achieves cost-effective cloud scalability and 100% uptime with US Signal

Four51 - Customer Case Study

Four51, a Minneapolis-based B2B eCommerce software company powering over 10,000 businesses and nearly 20 million users, faced a choice between costly on‑premises infrastructure refreshes and a more flexible, cloud‑based delivery model that aligned IT spend with growth. To eliminate high upfront capital costs, reduce operational risk, and preserve their zero‑install SaaS approach, Four51 engaged US Signal to evaluate cloud hosting and managed services options.

US Signal conducted a TCO analysis and recommended migrating Four51 Storefront to a hosted private cloud with disaster recovery and managed OS/SQL services, taking ownership of the infrastructure so Four51’s IT team could focus on innovation. The US Signal solution preserved capital by avoiding hardware refreshes and extra headcount, ensured 100% application availability for Four51’s customers, and delivered access to engineering expertise — a measurable boost in resiliency and operational efficiency.
