Case Study: Large U.S. Bank achieves high DNS availability and security with Infoblox

Large U. S. Bank - Customer Case Study

A large U.S. bank that had been managing DNS and DHCP on UNIX servers experienced a major outage when security patching broke vendor code, threatening critical services and customer access. The IT team needed a centrally managed, highly available solution to ensure core network service availability and defend DNS against advanced persistent threats, malware, and denial-of-service attacks.

The bank deployed Infoblox Grid with Infoblox DDI and plans for Infoblox DNS Firewall, supported by Infoblox Professional Services. The result is a consolidated, highly redundant infrastructure with simple failover and hardware-replacement procedures operable by less-expert staff, continuous SLA compliance, and stronger protection against DNS-based attacks (including planned integration with FireEye for automated threat response).
