In October of 2023, Infoblox commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study of Infoblox DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) core network solutions. Not only did Forrester uncover impressive return on investment (ROI) results for Infoblox DDI customers, but the noted impact on commercial, midsize enterprises—those with fewer than 5,000 employees—brought to light unique challenges and solutions to this resource-strapped market segment.
Here’s what Forrester found for midsize enterprises:
“Commercial organizations face many of the same problems as their much larger cohorts, with rivaling levels of complexity yet with scarce resources. Not to be underestimated, however, these same organizations may experience less bureaucracy, have more agility, and be better positioned for quicker time to value when it comes to adopting new tools, particularly for automation. Furthermore, efficiencies gained in commercial organizations can have more impact on business value and resources.”
Meeting the Needs of the Commercial Enterprise Market
Based on the Forrester study, if your enterprise has 5,000 or fewer employees, you may be experiencing any or all of the following. Which ones ring true for you?
- Missed business opportunities and an inability to innovate or scale
- Excess or wasted costs and high labor requirements
- Lack of enterprisewide consistency across data center, hybrid/multicloud, and branch
With those issues in mind, the following stats from the study will further pique your interest. With Infoblox DDI, results showed that commercial, midsize enterprise customers gained:
- 10% labor savings with automation
- 50% legacy networking and cloud cost savings
- 67% business growth benefits
In addition, the TEI study uncovered (for all participants) an aggregated three-year 346% ROI with over $8M in cost savings – talk about clear, measurable wins over scarce resources and budget!
Be the Company Hero
These impressive findings prompted Infoblox to work with Forrester in developing a commercial spotlight, that focuses study results specifically for commercial organizations. The resulting whitepaper, “Automate Core Network Services with Infoblox DDI,” offers a comprehensive overview of how Infoblox DDI can help commercial enterprises automate core network services, improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance business continuity.
As many of these enterprises know, the traditional approach to network management is manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. The increasing complexity of networks, the proliferation of devices, and the rise of cloud computing only add to the growing challenges commercial enterprises face in managing today’s complex networks.
As highlighted by the Forrester study, Infoblox DDI automates core network services, DNS, DHCP, and IPAM, giving networking and security teams alike greater visibility and control over network infrastructure and assets. It provides a centralized management platform which reduces the need for manual intervention and improves efficiency.
Security and Visibility for the Win
Infoblox DDI also supports and enhances a range of DNS-based security features, including DNS Detection and Response, which help organizations detect and stop cyber threats faster. Infoblox DDI also provides networking and security teams with shared visibility into network activity, which helps organizations respond to security threats more effectively.
