Case Study: Hagerty accelerates data center migrations and eliminates infrastructure busywork with NetBox Labs

Hagerty Eliminates Engineering Busywork and Accelerates Infrastructure Time-to-value with NetBox

Hagerty, a leading provider of specialty vehicle insurance, faced the challenge of effectively documenting and managing its data center infrastructure without requiring frequent on-site visits from its engineering team. The remote-first company needed a robust solution to track physical configurations and plan hardware deployments. They implemented NetBox Labs' NetBox to serve as a comprehensive documentation and planning solution.

The solution involved using NetBox to meticulously plan and map every physical connection, a process that proved invaluable during a major core network migration. By leveraging features like branching and generating cable IDs, NetBox Labs enabled Hagerty to plan approximately 650 connections across two data centers in advance. This extensive preparation allowed them to complete the migration of each data center in just three hours with zero downtime, saving countless days of on-site engineering time and accelerating their infrastructure's time-to-value.
