Case Study: Forcht Bank achieves greater availability and security with Flexential colocation

Forcht Bank boosts resilience with Flexential’s 100% SLA and 40-site colocation network

Forcht Bank, a Kentucky-based community bank, faced the challenge of managing its own data centers, which diverted IT resources away from customer-focused initiatives. To refocus on enriching the banking experience, they sought a third-party data center partner that could meet stringent banking industry compliance demands for availability, security, and connectivity. They partnered with Flexential for colocation services.

Flexential provided a robust colocation solution with a resilient, secure, and compliant environment, ensuring uninterrupted access to banking systems. This allowed Forcht Bank to dedicate more resources to its core banking services rather than infrastructure management. The results included greater security, improved disaster recovery capabilities, and enhanced IT resilience, which helped the bank better serve its clients and build its market image. Flexential's partnership also enables future growth and a planned second data center migration.
