Case Study: University of Birmingham saves 125 workdays with Infoblox network automation

University of Birmingham saves 125 workdays with Infoblox

The University of Birmingham, a prestigious UK institution, faced significant networking challenges due to its use of multiple disjointed DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) systems. This complex patchwork, which included Microsoft Active Directory DNS and legacy solutions, created administrative overhead, security blind spots, and performance issues. To overcome these obstacles, the university turned to Infoblox and its NIOS DDI product for a consolidated solution.

By migrating its Microsoft AD DNS services to the Infoblox platform, the university consolidated its network management from six systems down to one. Infoblox provided full visibility, robust automation, and integrated security via Threat Defense. The results included comprehensive protection for all network users and automated IP address management that saves the university 125 workdays per year.
