Case Study: Mountain America Credit Union achieves secure, redundant enterprise-grade IT infrastructure with Flexential Colocation

Helping members’ dreams come true by successfully navigating their financial journeys

Mountain America Credit Union is a large regional financial institution serving more than 1.1 million members through 100+ branches across the Mountain West. When planning a headquarters move, leadership had to decide whether to rebuild an in‑house data center or outsource: their existing facility lacked modern fire suppression, redundant UPS/generator systems and robust physical security, creating operational and continuity risks.

Mountain America chose Flexential colocation and data protection, migrating servers in 2017 into a secure 12‑rack cage with biometric access, 24/7 monitoring, redundant power paths and seismic‑isolated construction. The move shifted costs from CAPEX to OPEX, delivered uninterrupted service and stronger connectivity, and freed internal teams to focus on members — improving security, resilience and operational efficiency.
