Case Study: 3Rivers Federal Credit Union achieves ransomware protection and rapid recovery with Unitrends

3Rivers Federal Credit Union - Customer Case Study

3Rivers Federal Credit Union, founded in 1935 and now serving 69,000 members with about $750 million in assets across 25+ locations in Indiana and Ohio, needed a reliable backup and recovery solution after Symantec Backup Exec became unusable following its 2010 release. Server Analyst Erik Mattson, responsible for VMware, Nimble storage, Citrix and backups, sought better protection against outages, accidental deletes and ransomware.

They deployed two Unitrends Recovery Series 928S appliances—one in the main datacenter and one at a remote DR/test site—protecting VMware servers and Nimble arrays and providing automated AI-driven ransomware detection and alerts. The appliances enabled fast restores after two ransomware infections, simplified file recoveries, and delivered strong disaster recovery; Mattson also praised rapid, effective Unitrends support, leading 3Rivers to upgrade and extend the relationship.
