Case Study: Blue Federal Credit Union achieves improved uptime and operational efficiency with Green House Data colocation

Blue Federal Credit Union - Customer Case Study

Blue Federal Credit Union is a nearly 70,000‑member financial institution serving Colorado and Wyoming since 1951, with roughly $900M in assets. Facing the growing burden of maintaining an on‑premises data center — from 24/7 facilities requirements to HVAC, UPS and testing — Blue wanted to free staff to focus on business initiatives, improve uptime for members, and meet compliance needs through geographic separation and audited controls.

Blue moved core systems into Green House Data’s Cheyenne, WY colocation facility, deployed a Corelation core on an IBM Flex System, and relied on Green House Data’s flexible white space, third‑party audits, and rapid support SLAs. The migration eliminated the need to manage power and cooling in‑house, increased operational efficiency, ensured reliable uptime, and let IT concentrate on member‑facing projects while benefiting from responsive support.
