Demystifying the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Configuration Model
The purpose of this insight is to educate wireless network administrators who are considering deploying or migrating a wireless network about the similarities and differences between the Cisco Catalyst 9800 and AireOS wireless solutions. We have provided an overview of the Cisco Catalyst solution, details about why the configuration model was revamped, and instructions for how to correlate configuration constructs between the legacy and new configuration model, simplifying adoption of the new solution.
Testing Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN in the ATC
Palo Alto has long been known as a global cyber-security leader. Since their acquisition of CloudGenix in 2020, Palo has been helping to shape the cloud-centric model by adding SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) into a holistic SASE offering including Prisma Access for customers and an ever-evolving industry.
The ATC (Advanced Technology Center) worked to build a lab within a few weeks that would test, showcase, and demonstrate Palo Alto's SD-WAN cloud-native network approach. Keep reading to see how Palo Alto completes their SASE solution.
University Data Center: Optimize Space With Modern Performance and Scalability
After years of steady enrollment growth, a major university needed to transfer its data center to a smaller location to make room for additional student residences.
Simplify Distributed Cloud Management With F5 Distributed Cloud Services Platform
In this ATC Insight, we will explore how F5 Distributed Cloud Services platform (F5 XC Services) can simplify the management of applications deployed across multiple cloud providers in multiple Kubernetes clusters. WWT, through its use of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) & F5 XC Services has proven how easy it is to establish cloud-to-cloud connectivity, layer security policies and discover API workloads for distributed cloud framework.
Crowdstrike EDR Testing in the ATC
Crowdstrike has been one of the hottest companies in the last 18 months. We can validate this statement with the testing activity we have done in the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) around Crowdstrike as an Endpoint, Detection, and Response (EDR) solution that our customers have asked us to evaluate with them.

Cloud Edge Solution Comparison Accelerates Pharma's Path to Business Value
Learn how a pharmaceutical company leveraged the ATC to test and compare three cloud edge solutions: Microsoft Azure Stack Edge, AWS Outposts and Google SITE Appliance.
Cisco (Viptela) SD-WAN Cloud onRamp with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
This article will briefly explain ATC's experience with Cisco (Viptela) SD-WAN onRamp for Multicloud with Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It will then describe the configuration steps as well as testing of these features.
Cool as a ZutaCore Cucumber
The time has come to make the switch to Liquid Cooled Servers. With Liquid Cooled servers you should see a decrease in power consumption of the servers as well as your facility cooling power requirements. The move to a greener data center is happening and WWT can help facilitate your participation. Read on to learn all the things.

ATC Tests F5 SSLO in the Lab
Testing F5 Integrations
Bluetooth Low Energy Mobile App Development: A Comparison of Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile, React Native, and iOS
Team BLERN, an internal learning team, was formed to develop a mobile application with the ability to communicate with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) health devices. Specifically, we were tasked with reading the heart rate and oxygen saturation levels provided by a pulse oximeter and displaying the data within the app.
MemVerge Memory Machine
Digital transformation has resulted in a significant increase in real-time data creation, which has driven demand for real-time analytics and AI/ML applications.
Examples of High-impact Automations Across IT Infrastructure Volume 3
Volume 3 of our automation edition of ATC Insights goes through a few more automation efforts that we use on the Lab Services team to help deliver POC's (Proof of Concepts) faster to our internal and external customers.
F5 DDoS Protection with Intel SmartNIC
Protecting networks against volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks is challenging enough, but for software-based infrastructure the challenge is even greater. In the past stopping multi-gigabit DDoS attacks has required dedicated network security hardware, but recently WWT was asked to test a virtual DDoS solution from F5 powered by the Intel SmartNIC FPGA.
SILK SDS Testing In The ATC
We had a customer recently ask us to do some lab testing via a Proof of Concept (or POC) around the Silk solution. The customer was interested in some specific testing around Performance, Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (or RAS).
Dell PowerMax Performance During Upgrade
In the WWT Advanced Technology Center (ATC), we needed to do a code upgrade on a Dell PowerMax 2000 All-Flash Array. We decided to do some performance tests against the array during this code upgrade. Dell Support performed the upgrade while an ATC Lab Services storage architect checked the performance of the array during the upgrade process. We wanted to determine if any impact occurred to the array during a routine code upgrade. We had several customers who were interested in the outcome of this test for their own upgrade processes in their production environments.
UCS 5108 Power and Thermal Testing in the ATC for Data Center Capacity
We had a customer who wanted us to do thermal and power testing around a compute solution. The Proof of Concept (POC) was set up to verify or validate power and thermal readings for the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) components (specifically the 5108 chassis, 2408 IO Modules, and 6454 Fabric Interconnects) of the FlashStack design.
Automating for consistency and capacity with the POCDOC Tool
In the Advanced Technology Center, (or ATC) our Lab Services team is asked to perform Proof of Concepts (or POCs) with our customers every day. Sometimes our customers require very detailed results documentation that can literally be hundreds of pages long. The real challenge is trying to take all of the different results from testing in the lab and getting them compiled into a presentable format back to our customers.
NetApp SDS Testing In The ATC
We had a customer recently ask us to do some lab testing via a Proof of Concept (or POC) around a NetApp Solidfire solution. The customer was interested in some specific testing around Performance, Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (or RAS).
3 VCF POCs in the ATC, What We Learned...
We have had many customers in WWT's Advanced Technology Center utilize our Proof of Concept (POC) testing to evaluate different Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions that would fit their production environment needs. In this ATC Insight, we expose information from three different POCs that we executed on with our customers. All three of the POC's mentioned in this ATC Insight demonstrate the flexibility of VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation) and show how it offers a variety of ways for organizations to run the infrastructure on-premise and in the cloud.
