First American Credit Union Selects Quorum DRaaS Solution For Disaster Recovery

Instant Restoration, Automatic Testing Top List of Benefits for Arizona-Based Financial Institution

Quorum, the leader in instant application recovery, recently announced that Arizona-based First American Credit Union has selected the Quorum Hybrid Cloud/DRaaS solution to protect its critical assets from system downtime. With Quorum, First American avoids costly downtime and maintains a reputation for stellar service among its membership.

"System downtime may be an inevitability for any organization, but in the financial services industry, it's also unacceptable. Our members depend on our ability to provide secure, uninterrupted service," said William Brown, technology systems manager, First American Credit Union. "With Quorum's PCI-compliant DRaaS solution, we are able to easily meet the security and accessibility requirements of our members. Quorum is ideal for any midmarket organization — especially in financial services — looking to protect the assets of the organization and maintain business continuity."

First American Credit Union turned to Quorum's scalable, flexible hybrid cloud/DRaaS solution to ensure business continuity and for its automatic testing capabilities. Quorum has only been installed a few weeks, but First American is already seeing the benefits. Among them is the peace of mind knowing that, after a disaster, instant restoration of First American's data, applications and systems is only a single step away. And testing, which previously took as long as two hours to complete and therefore had to be conducted after hours, can now occur during business hours and has no impact on staff.

"It only takes one instance of extended system downtime to tarnish a financial institution's all-important reputation, so having a disaster recovery solution in place is of paramount importance," said Edward Sharp, CEO, Quorum. "As the only DRaaS solution on the market to provide instant restoration, Quorum emerges as a top choice — especially in this vertical. We're excited to be working with First American, an organization that is committed to the very best in serving its customers."
