“With centralized management, we’ve been able to increase our insight into DNS views and what content we’re exposing to partners, so we just feel that we have better control over our environment. All migrations had to be done in a live environment. Our engineering team was able to complete these migrations over a two-month period, and the process was nearly transparent to the end users.”
Kris Acker, Senior Network Engineer, Providence Health
“After seven mergers, we needed to “right size” our network to improve visibility and consistency, cut cost and simplify our infrastructure. Infoblox delivered centralized management, reliability and better disaster recovery. We are able to better manage our global locations at lower cost and better positioned to scale operations where we need them.”
IT Director
“Infoblox just works without a lot of care and feeding or support. It’s reliable, efficient and makes our jobs easier. That’s why we stay with Infoblox.”
Network Administrator
“Infoblox helped us replace our old platform. NIOS DDI simplified the complexities of our global network. With central management and synchronized IPAM, we can finally see everything on our network, and our network services are much more reliable.”
Senior Network Administrator
“As part of our new platform, we wanted to migrate more services to the cloud. We wanted to be available in marketplace without operating system dependencies and the need to modify scripts. We also wanted to use multiple cloud platforms to avoid getting locked into one vendor. Infoblox works with the major cloud platforms and provides the ability to see across platforms from a single view. That was huge.”
