Case Studies
Independent data center sourcing services delivering measurable savings, improved contract terms, and consistent infrastructure performance.
Global SaaS Provider – Reduced Colocation Costs by 28%
A multinational SaaS firm operating across the U.S. and Europe sought to consolidate multiple colocation agreements with varying terms and pricing. Pearl Data Center Sourcing performed a full audit, benchmarked rates against current market standards, and identified pricing inconsistencies across facilities in Dallas, Frankfurt, and London. By renegotiating with vendors and aligning contract cycles, the client achieved a 28% annual cost reduction. The engagement also improved SLA consistency across sites and established a unified renewal framework, providing the client’s finance and operations teams with clearer cost visibility and control.
New York Financial Firm – Improved Compliance and Reliability
A global financial institution based in New York was experiencing rising power expenses and inconsistent uptime across two data centers. Pearl Data Center Sourcing conducted a detailed comparison of Tier III and Tier IV facilities across the tri-state area. We sourced and evaluated three qualified providers offering better redundancy, lower power rates, and SOC 2-certified operations. The selected site achieved 99.999% uptime performance and reduced total operational costs by 22%. The engagement strengthened the firm’s regulatory compliance while simplifying SLA oversight and vendor coordination.
Cloud Infrastructure Company – Accelerated Migration Across Regions
A cloud infrastructure provider in Virginia needed to expand quickly across the U.S. and Canadian markets. Pearl Data Center Sourcing assessed Tier III facilities in Ashburn, Toronto, and Montréal, evaluating latency, scalability, and cost structures. We arranged cross-border lease terms and coordinated temporary dual-site setups to maintain uninterrupted operations. The migration concluded 35% ahead of the client’s original schedule with zero downtime. The new setup now supports higher service capacity and improved performance visibility across regions.
