Case Study: Computer-Entertainment Company achieves simplified, automated DNS/IPAM and faster server reallocation with Infoblox

Computer- Entertainment Company - Customer Case Study

An international computer-entertainment company that hosts online games—supporting separate domains for tools/QA and live gaming—faced an unruly, homegrown DNS environment that had grown organically into an administrative burden. Multiple undocumented DNS servers, inconsistent configurations, no query logging (which impeded cheat detection), and manual scripting for updates made scaling, security, and resource management slow and error-prone.

The team deployed Infoblox DDI appliances in a high-availability Grid, replacing the patchwork system with a single automated platform. The Infoblox solution centralized DNS, DHCP, and IPAM with API-driven IP allocation for private-cloud provisioning, added query logging for better security and cheat detection, and delivered significant administrative time savings and faster server reallocation; the company plans to extend the Grid for failover and disaster recovery.
