Case Study: A North American Mobile and Wireline Service Provider achieves consolidated DNS/DHCP and lower operating costs with Infoblox

North American Mobile and Wireline Service Provider - Customer Case Study

A North American integrated mobile and wireline service provider—serving consumers, businesses, and government—needed to consolidate operating companies and their disparate DNS/DHCP systems. Multiple DNS platforms (Alcatel‑Lucent VitalQIP, Microsoft, BIND) and manual, inconsistent change-management processes created operational inefficiencies, integration headaches, and no common IPAM strategy.

The operator implemented Infoblox Grid technology, deploying more than 50 appliances and consolidating DNS into three regional data centers with high‑availability pairs and dedicated resolvers for clients, servers, network devices, and DMZs. The result: automated, centralized DNS/DHCP management, lower support costs, retirement of legacy hardware, faster Internet response times, better change control, reduced administrative burden, and one administrator managing what previously required five.
