Dell Technologies : United States Senate Federal Credit Union Taps Dell Technologies to Deliver Services Faster with New Private Cloud

ROUND ROCK, Texas - December 17, 2020 -

Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) is helping the United States Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU) modernize its technology infrastructure and transition to a co-located, fully dedicated private cloud to provide faster network capabilities to power its business.

'An organization's ability to quickly migrate and deploy new services is critical to its success,' said Drew Schulke, vice president, Dell EMC Networking. 'For financial institutions like USSFCU, the speed and confidence to deploy critical services with SmartFabric Director is a game changer as they look to keep up with the changing needs of its members.'

Dell Technologies has worked with USSFCU to provide modern capabilities that automate repetitive tasks, rapidly roll out new services, improve latency and make its system easier for its employees to use.

Working closely with Dell Technologies, USSFCU's new dedicated private cloud will help the credit union deliver financial services and power mission critical workloads such as check imaging, document management, file services and back-up archiving. USSFCU can better meet the rising demand for new services and a faster overall customer experience.

'We are in the middle of renovating our headquarters, all while juggling remote work mandates and challenging circumstances,' said Mark Fournier, interim CIO, United States Senate Federal Credit Union. 'We deployed Dell EMC SmartFabric Director in less than 45 minutes, something that would have taken us weeks to do manually. With Dell Technologies, we can continue to support our credit union members seamlessly while prioritizing the health and safety of our employees.'

USSFCU is also using other Dell Technologies solutions across its environment, including Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and Dell EMC PowerSwitch open networking switches.
