Case Study: World Wide Technology achieves 10 years of zero network outages and faster lab provisioning with Infoblox

World Wide Technology delivers 10 years of 100% uptime with Infoblox

World Wide Technology (WWT), a premier global information technology provider, faced significant challenges in managing its Advanced Technology Center lab. The manual buildout and teardown of complex, ephemeral proof-of-concept networks were extremely time-consuming, taking hours per instance. WWT also needed to expand its capacity and improve network resiliency, high availability, and security for its thousands of users. To address this, they turned to vendor Infoblox and its NIOS DDI product.

The solution implemented by Infoblox involved expanding the lab's footprint with geographically dispersed data centers and Infoblox Grid Masters, which dramatically increased redundancy and resiliency. Leveraging Infoblox's extensive API library, WWT automated the network provisioning process, slashing the time to build and remove network instances from two hours to just minutes—a 20x acceleration. The partnership with Infoblox has resulted in 100% uptime for over a decade, vital DNS protection for thousands of users, and the ability for WWT's architects to focus on long-term strategic goals.
