Case Study: Fidelity State Bank and Trust Company achieves simplified, highly available, scalable virtualization with Scale Computing HC3

Fidelity State Bank and Trust Company - Customer Case Study

Fidelity State Bank and Trust Company, a family-owned bank in Topeka, KS with four locations and a single-person IT staff, faced constrained Hyper‑V hosts that blocked virtual machine growth and relied on manual, USB-based backups. Expanding the environment required complex, time‑consuming steps and coordination with multiple vendors, so the bank sought a simpler, single‑vendor solution that could be managed with existing resources.

Fidelity deployed Scale Computing HC3 (two 3‑node systems) alongside StorageCraft ShadowProtect, combining servers, storage and virtualization into an automated, highly available appliance. The new platform simplified management, provided automatic VM high availability and modernized backups, allowed painless scaling without extra licensing or external storage, and saved the IT lead significant time so the bank could focus on core operations.
