Case Study: Pentagon Federal Credit Union achieves 50% faster server recoveries with Acronis Backup Advanced

Nation’s Third Largest Credit Union Protect Servers with Acronis

Pentagon Federal Credit Union, the United States’ third-largest credit union with over $14.5 billion in assets and nearly one million members, faced growing backup and recovery challenges as its number of physical and virtual servers increased. Manual imaging required taking servers offline and on-site administration during off-hours, so Pentagon Federal Credit Union adopted Acronis solutions—Acronis Backup Advanced for Windows Servers, Acronis Backup Advanced for VMware, and Acronis Universal Restore—to modernize and automate protection for its critical financial applications and servers.

Acronis implemented automated “set & forget” backup policies, live imaging and Universal Restore to enable hardware-agnostic recovery and simplified migrations. The deployment cut server recovery times by an average of 50%, raised recovery confidence to 100%, reduced weekend administration by 10–15%, and freed IT staff for other tasks, demonstrating measurable improvements in RTO and operational efficiency.
