Case Study: Global Pharmaceutical Firm achieves scalable global IP management and faster virtual server deployment with Infoblox

Global Pharmaceutical Firm - Customer Case Study

A global research-based biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes innovative medicines faced growing pain from managing IP addresses with spreadsheets. A small infrastructure team supporting LANs and WANs across North America, Europe and APAC struggled with locked files, missing or undocumented reservations, and a surge in virtual server deployments and mobile/VoIP devices that spreadsheets could no longer handle; they needed a supported, web-based, scalable IPAM solution that wouldn’t add operational overhead.

The company deployed an Infoblox DDI appliance with Grid™ technology as a Grid Master to centrally manage IPAM, DHCP, DNS, NTP and TFTP services. The result was faster, more accurate address assignment for rapid virtual-server rollouts, improved worldwide manageability and documentation (helping GMP compliance), and the ability to support business growth without increasing IT headcount.
