Case Study: Beach Municipal Federal Credit Union achieves rapid disaster recovery and regulatory compliance with Axcient

Credit Union Selects Axcient for Disaster Recovery and Compliance

Beach Municipal Federal Credit Union, a Virginia Beach financial institution serving its community for over 40 years, faced strict CUNA/NCUA compliance requirements for member data availability and disaster recovery. Its existing tape-based Symantec Backup Exec and Acronis image backups were unreliable, slow to manage, and couldn’t guarantee the fast RTO or self-service control needed to keep critical services online.

The credit union implemented Axcient’s onsite appliance plus SSAE‑16 cloud to provide local and off-site protection, self-service test restores, and rapid failover of servers or workstations. The solution met the sub‑hour RTO goals, enabled a two‑hour bare‑metal restore that would otherwise have taken a day, and delivered secure, easily tested disaster recovery that ensures regulatory compliance and operational continuity.
