Case Study: City of Airdrie achieves resilient, simplified network management with Infoblox

City of Airdrie - Customer Case Study

The City of Airdrie’s IT department, which supports about 500 workstations, growing mobile devices and public Wi‑Fi across a rapidly expanding municipality, needed to improve reliability and operational efficiency. Its Microsoft-based DNS/DHCP was tied to Active Directory, creating single points of failure and limiting reporting and DHCP functionality, while IP address management relied on error-prone spreadsheets that slowed provisioning and troubleshooting.

A virtual appliance solution from Infoblox (Trinzic DDI in Grid mode plus NetMRI) centralized DNS, DHCP and IPAM, added high availability and hardened security, and delivered comprehensive monitoring and reporting. The single-pane management sped diagnostics (reducing issue isolation to a few clicks), cut unnecessary purchases by tracking utilization, enabled faster provisioning and freed staff to take on roughly 10–15 more projects per year, delivering rapid ROI.
