Case Study: Credit Union of Colorado achieves 100% uptime and 40%+ ROI with Flexential colocation

Satisfying Banking Needs with a Member-first Approach

Credit Union of Colorado, a member-owned financial institution with 18 branches and roughly $2.3B in assets, needed to decide whether to build on-site data center space for a new headquarters or use a third-party provider. Its existing on-site infrastructure suffered carrier-related outages that threatened digital access and member services, so the credit union conducted a TCO/ROI analysis and prioritized 24/7 uptime, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness.

The credit union selected Flexential colocation in Denver, leveraging a carrier‑neutral, blended network, DDoS protection, robust physical security, and a high-performance 100 Gbps backbone to connect to cloud and SaaS environments. The deployment—backed by N+1/N+2 redundancies and a 100% SLA—delivered improved reliability, regulatory readiness, and a 40%+ ROI versus building on-site, freeing internal IT to focus on member‑centric innovations.
