Case Study: Technology-Focused Research University (Educational and Research Institution) achieves simplified DNS/DHCP administration and successful large-scale migration with BlueCat Networks

Educational and Research Institution - Customer Case Study

A technology-focused research university's networking team was struggling to manage DNS and DHCP at scale. Running an older VitalQIP (6.2) deployment with roughly 200,000 host records, 3,000 DHCP scopes and a large, distributed admin model (400–500 admins), the primary driver for change was simplifying administration.

BlueCat Professional Services partnered with the university to migrate core services and standardize administration using BlueCat’s DHCP Templates, which delivered consistency across the distributed admin model. BlueCat processed the VitalQIP data and the customer completed a successful migration, simplifying DNS/DHCP management.
