Case Study: Coast Central Credit Union achieves resilient 24/7 connectivity and increased bandwidth with AireSpring Platinum SD‑WAN

Coast Central Credit Union - Customer Case Study

Coast Central Credit Union (Coast Central) is a $1.4B asset credit union serving more than 68,000 members across 11 locations in rural Northern California, where long‑haul fiber and limited carrier options regularly caused WAN outages and threatened 24/7 member services—especially during natural disasters like the Tubbs Fire. Seeking an affordable, redundant solution with minimal disruption, Coast Central engaged AireSpring and selected the AireSpring Platinum SD‑WAN Solution.

AireSpring deployed its Platinum SD‑WAN (VMware NSX® SD‑WAN by VeloCloud™) to aggregate MPLS, microwave, satellite, cellular, coax and fiber into a single resilient WAN, install edge devices with on‑site calibration, and prioritize critical traffic. The result: failures that once affected one or more offices each month are now rare, hitless 2 ms failover preserves voice and apps, backup times are dramatically reduced, site‑to‑site replication and cloud services are now viable, and Coast Central has greater bandwidth and operational focus to pursue business growth — all delivered by AireSpring.
