Clouds
Wasl, one of Dubai’s largest real estate management companies, was established by Dubai Real Estate Corporation (DREC) to manage its assets and expand its portfolio. Wasl’s operations span various sectors, from residential and commercial properties to industrial plots of land and from leisure and entertainment to hotels and serviced apartments. They required a reliable and high-performance network and cloud connectivity, which Orixcom proposed CloudConnect using SD-WAN.

“We wanted to improve our network and take advantage of migrating to the Cloud. Orixcom were able to streamline our connections, so we no longer needed two separate networks and their solution allowed us to realise significant cost savings. We were very satisfied with their approach and decided to take advantage of another product, Cloud Connect, to enhance our network upgrades even further.”

Outcomes & ROI:
- Wasl are now able to run at 100% utilisation without performance issues
- No lag experienced between on premise and cloud
- Cost saving made the project viable
Challenges
- Migration roadblocks: Wasl aimed to shift its Disaster Recovery (DR) setup from on-premise to the cloud, but faced significant hurdles.
- High bandwidth costs: The required bandwidth to support cloud-based DR was prohibitively expensive, making the move financially unviable.
- Performance limitations: Standard connectivity options introduced latency and instability, making them unsuitable for a reliable DR environment.
- Inadequate infrastructure for backup: Without a robust connection, creating a dependable cloud backup capability was not feasible.
Solutions
Orixcom combined CloudConnect and SD-WAN to make cloud-based disaster recovery practical and future-ready:
CloudConnect + SD-WAN integration
Delivered a unified solution enabling Wasl to transition from traditional DR models to a cloud-first approach.
Scalable performance

Continuous availability
Ensured 24/7 uptime for Wasl’s cloud DR site, supporting operational resilience and uninterrupted business continuity.
“With the diverse business operations that encompass a large business such as Wasl, it’s imperative we ensure business continuity at all times. To ensure we were protected in the event of an outage we wanted to implement our DR site in the Cloud however, with the bandwidth we required this proved financially prohibitive with existing suppliers. Orixcom proposed CloudConnect as a solution and it has enabled us to establish a DR site in the Cloud with substantial cost savings and significantly enhanced performance.”
