Case Study: Arvato Systems achieves zero-downtime hybrid cloud migration with Infoblox NIOS DDI

Arvato Systems migrates 7,000 servers in 9 months with Infoblox

Arvato Systems, an international IT services provider, faced the formidable challenge of migrating two entire data centers for a major healthcare client under an extremely tight 15-month deadline with a strict zero-downtime requirement. The legacy network infrastructure was fragmented and outdated, causing significant IP management problems that threatened the project's success. To modernize the platform and ensure compliance with data sovereignty laws, Arvato turned to vendor Infoblox and its NIOS DDI product.

Infoblox provided an enterprise-grade DDI solution that served as the central IP address management system for the new hybrid cloud platform. The implementation by Infoblox enabled the migration of tens of thousands of IP addresses in just hours with zero critical problems or network downtime. This was a key factor in the project's overall success, allowing Arvato to successfully migrate 7,000 servers and 2,800 applications on schedule while meeting all high-availability SLAs.
