Case Study: Truliant Federal Credit Union ensures long-term data access with Caringo Swarm

Truliant Federal Credit Union Ensures Data Can Outlive Hardware with Continued Access

Truliant Federal Credit Union, a financial institution with 190,000 members, needed a cost-effective and responsive long-term storage solution for millions of files, including call center audio, check images, and email. Their traditional NAS system could not handle the load, and they sought to eliminate reliance on specific hardware vendors. They turned to vendor Caringo and its Swarm object storage platform to address this challenge.

Caringo implemented its Swarm object storage software on dedicated hardware, along with its Content File Server (CFS) and Cluster Services Node (CSN). This solution provided a flexible, hardware-agnostic archive that integrated with Truliant's existing applications. The results were significant: a 50% reduction in their data center footprint and a 42% overall cost reduction. Caringo's solution ensured all data remained instantly accessible for over seven years for compliance, with the added benefits of no-downtime expansion and simplified management.
