Case Study: Central One Federal Credit Union achieves streamlined disaster recovery and simplified IT management with HPE SimpliVity

Central One Federal Credit Union streamlines disaster recovery with HPE SimpliVity

Central One Federal Credit Union, a New England-based financial institution, faced an aging, non-virtualized IT environment of 30+ physical servers that strained two data centers. The IT team needed a technology refresh to support a VMware P-to-V migration, improve disaster recovery, reduce footprint and TCO, and simplify management for a small staff.

They chose HPE SimpliVity’s hyperconverged “data‑center‑in‑a‑box” platform to host virtual machines, enabling seamless P-to-V conversions and stackable scalability. The deployment provided automated, efficient DR with real‑time deduplication and VM replication between sites, reduced infrastructure complexity and footprint, improved application flexibility, and simplified operations—allowing the credit union to protect all VMs, continue migrating workloads, and explore VDI and M&A use cases.
