Case Study: Leading Private University achieves reduced costs, consistent billing and improved uptime with US Signal

Leading Private University - Customer Case Study

Leading Private University, a top‑tier, multi‑discipline private university in Silicon Valley, needed highly available, secure and scalable colocated infrastructure but was burdened by a costly third‑party consultant, limited visibility into its environment, variable energy bills and ongoing maintenance overhead. To address these challenges it engaged US Signal for colocation and managed data center services, including a concurrently maintainable facility, on‑site remote hands and professional server maintenance.

US Signal delivered a concurrently maintainable colocation solution with redundant power and signal paths, trained on‑site staff for remote hands and bundled energy costs, giving the university greater visibility and control. The university eliminated the middleman, lowered and stabilized monthly costs (a smaller monthly invoice and consistent billing), improved uptime and responsiveness for fixes and updates, and removed the need for expensive third‑party staffing.
