Case Study: Walker & Dunlop achieves cost-effective 100% uptime with Green Cloud Technologies

Walker & Dunlop - Customer Case Study

Walker & Dunlop, a large commercial real estate financing firm with more than 500 employees across 24 offices, needed a cost-effective way to meet a 100% uptime SLA for its field offices with a very short installation window. After considering a second colocation site and even AWS, the company worked with Green Cloud Technologies and its channel partner CNSG to find a solution that could deliver high availability without disrupting its existing VMware-based environment.

Green Cloud Technologies implemented a Cisco Powered infrastructure solution built on Cisco UCS and Nexus, integrated with Walker & Dunlop’s existing VMware and SAN investments. The result was a customized hybrid cloud environment that met the customer’s uptime goals while keeping costs competitive—matching AWS on monthly recurring charges and reducing non-recurring charges by more than 40%—and saving the client’s IT team significant time and effort through Green Cloud’s engineering support.
