Breaking the Chain: Why Decoupling DNS and DHCP from Identity is Critical for Network Resilience and Cost Savings

In today’s hybrid, multi-cloud environments, tightly coupling DNS and DHCP to identity services creates fragility, hidden dependencies, and escalating costs. A single failure can cascade across the enterprise, amplifying downtime risk and driving up operational complexity.

In this session, we’ll explore the strategic case for decoupling DNS and DHCP from identity services to strengthen resiliency, simplify operations, and unlock cost savings. You’ll learn practical steps to reduce hidden single points of failure, shrink your outage blast radius, and future-proof your infrastructure.

We’ll also share a real-world case study: how a large U.S state’s Department of Education catering to more than 700,000 students and more than 20,000 teachers and administrators modernized its DNS/DHCP infrastructure with Infoblox alongside a third-party identity provider. The result: streamlined operations and a significant reduction in annual spend on identity and DNS/DHCP, which had previously reached nearly $8M.

Why Attend:

  • Discover how decoupling DNS/DHCP from identity services reduces cascading failure risks.
  • Learn practical strategies to increase resiliency and reduce your outage blast radius.
  • Hear how a U.S. state’s Department of Education modernized at scale while driving major cost savings.
