Truliant Federal Credit Union Selects Caringo CAStor

Caringo, Inc. announced that Truliant
Federal Credit Union is using CAStor for the long-term storage of files
including call center audio, video, check images, ATM receipts and email
archives.

CAStor provides Truliant with the ability to create a massively scalable
pool of storage on the company’s choice of commodity x86 server hardware with
instant accessibility regardless of capacity or file count. Additionally,
CAStor enabled Truliant to reduce its storage footprint and costs by 42%,
allowing for the elimination of dedicated power distribution and network
switches.

Truliant Federal Credit Union has 22 member financial centers in four
states with 190,000 members and $1.5 billion in assets. Truliant has been
leveraging the benefits of object storage since 2005 to store, manage and
access the millions of rich media files, ranging in size from a few KBs to a
few hundred MBs, used daily in the line of business.

With the need to replace its original, aging object storage devices, Truliant
began evaluating current solutions. Truliant selected the Caringo Object
Storage Platform powered by CAStor because of its ability to install on any
standard server hardware, plug-and-play throughput with no downtime or impact
to applications, and ‘set it and forget it’ ease of maintenance.

"Service is key for Truliant and its
members’ information is of paramount importance, which is why they needed a storage
solution that evolves with their business and member needs," said Mark
Goros, CEO of Caringo. "Our storage
software removed Truliant’s reliance on proprietary hardware offerings, giving
them the flexibility to continue to benefit from hardware price, performance
and capacity improvements without disruption to operations, all while ensuring
data is completely secure and accessible for as long as they need it to be."
