INX to Deploy New Data Center Architecture for U.S. New Mexico Federal Credit Union

INX Inc., (OTC:INXI) wins data center virtualization contract at U.S. New Mexico Federal Credit Union.

U.S. New Mexico Federal Credit Union (USNMFCU), based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is the oldest credit union in New Mexico and is currently in its 76th year of operation. USNMFCU has assets of over $650M and serves its members by providing financial products and services to help them attain personal financial success. USNMFCU recently contracted with INX to develop solutions for common problems experienced by financial institutions with physical data centers, disaster recovery and storage capacity overload.

One of the challenges USNMFCU faces is dealing with the inefficiency of working with a physical data center. While USNMFCU's IT staff has done an outstanding job in making the environment as efficient as possible, a physical data center always incurs high costs, excess power consumption and higher risk of extended downtime. This scenario necessitates substantial recurring capital outlays along with large operating expenses to host, power, cool, maintain and administer multiple physical servers. In addition to the costs of a physical data center, all individual servers, by their nature, are vulnerable to failure, meaning USNMFCU could suffer prolonged downtime while a replacement server is sourced and rebuilt.

After evaluation and planning, INX worked with USNMFCU to design a comprehensive solution to address the data center architecture. The project will virtualize all production servers and organize them so that they will reside on a storage area network (SAN). By having the servers reside on the SAN, they are enabled to take advantage of SAN attributes such as higher performance, reliability, scalability and manageability. In addition, all virtualized servers will have high availability to significantly reduce the possibility of server failure. The design will save USNMFCU money long term by reducing the amount of servers required, thereby decreasing long term maintenance, power and cooling costs. INX also designed a disaster recovery solution that will include two physically separated environments; one location at an Albuquerque facility and the second at an offsite telecom colocation facility.

INX was chosen for the project based on a successful five year business relationship with USNMFCU. This project represents nearly $475,000 in product and service revenue for INX. The project will start in July 2011.

Tim Kildare, CIO for USNMFCU said, "The Data Center project will provide our organization with stronger business continuity and reduce costs for us long term.”

Andy Cadwell, Senior VP - Sales and Field Operations at INX said, "INX is pleased to be able to provide consulting and implementation services to U.S. New Mexico Federal Credit Union. We anticipate the project to be a strategic asset for the organization that will ultimately help them service their customers better.”
