New IT Infrastructure for Wibu-Systems
The new Wibu-Systems Campus in Karlsruhe was built to make working easier and more enjoyable – and that also goes for the all-new network infrastructure . The internal IT team has made Wibu-Systems fit for the challenges ahead .
The move into our purpose-built head offices has brought not only a new work environment for the people of Wibu-Systems , but also realized a complete updating of the company ’ s internal network infrastructure . The internal virtualization platform has been redesigned from the ground up , a change driven by the pursuit of greater availability , better load balancing , and the ability to recover faster and more reliably from failures or other incidents .
With the support of the service team of Leitwerk (
https :// www . leitwerk . de ), our internal servers have a new , faster cluster with DELL hardware , datacore memory management , and VMware vSphere , which meets current standards and keeps the system scalable and fit for the future . As an added bonus , a Veeam backup solution was built right into the new setup .
All pieces of the system are linked by fast fiber connections . Virtual machines can be moved around at a moment ’ s notice , and the system rapidly backed up or recovered . This means that critical machines can be backed up more frequently , keeping the backups as fresh as possible should a recovery be needed .

The traditional 3-level approach was chosen specifically because of its tried-and-true reliability and the independence from individual hardware brands it offers . While the current hardware comes exclusively from DELL , it is not the only solution : When the system is expanded or updated later on , the technology can come from other makers , with a flexible choice of component providers .
