About The Customer
The customer is a Fortune 500 manufacturing company with global operations. The company is actively involved in acquisitions and divestitures, which makes its IT infrastructure highly dynamic. The senior enterprise architect is responsible for ensuring stability and business continuity, with a focus on availability and disaster recovery. The company requires efficient management of IP addresses, especially during acquisitions and divestitures, to maintain connectivity and functionality across its enterprise. The architect emphasizes the need for a commercial-grade solution to manage the network effectively and avoid the pitfalls of commodity solutions.
The Challenge
The company faced challenges in maintaining stability, business continuity, and efficiency across a complex, widely distributed, and dynamic mission-critical network. Key requirements included availability and disaster recovery, especially concerning the management of millions of IP addresses during acquisitions and divestitures. The existing commodity solutions were inadequate for industrial-strength network management, leading to difficulties in information gathering and security issue remediation. The need for a centrally managed system to handle DNS and DHCP was critical to offset the risk of outages and ensure global stability.
The Solution
The company implemented Infoblox solutions, including Infoblox Grid™ technology, Infoblox DDI, and Infoblox NetMRI, to support DHCP services and manage IP addresses. Infoblox Grid™ technology synchronizes and coordinates the company's widespread locations, while Infoblox NetMRI automates network core services. Infoblox Reporting provides enterprise-wide visibility, allowing network administrators to monitor connections and optimize functions. These solutions deliver 100 percent visibility into the global infrastructure, enabling efficient management and reporting, which contributes to better regulatory compliance and significant ROI.
