Largest US Independent Furniture Company Deploys Infoblox Appliances for DNS and DHCP Services and Disaster Recovery

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) - Infoblox Inc. today announced that Rooms to
Go, America's largest independent furniture company, has selected and
deployed Infoblox appliances to deliver internal and external domain name
resolution (DNS), IP address assignment and management (DHCP/IPAM)
services. The systems support the company's showroom networks in nine
states and provide essential disaster recovery advantages.
Rooms to Go, which operates showrooms in Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Texas, offers affordable, stylish and convenient ways to shop for furniture
including via the Internet. With more than one million customers shopping
at Rooms to Go annually, the 24x7 availability of the company's network is
critical. Nonstop delivery of DNS and DHCP is essential to maintaining
that network and application uptime.
Prior to using the Infoblox solution, Rooms to Go tried several products
for their core network services including a Microsoft solution and a
sub-standard appliance alternative. With other approaches, Rooms to Go
experienced multiple DNS failures and network downtime and realized that
they needed a more robust product with advanced failover features that also
offered a disaster recovery solution.
"We needed a secure and reliable solution and Infoblox delivered," said
Jason Hall, IT manager at Rooms to Go. "With our business dependence on
the network, failure is not acceptable. With our previous DNS solutions we
experienced multiple outages, downtime and instability. The Infoblox
solution has given Rooms to Go a strong, secure, highly available and
affordable solution."
Rooms to Go purchased and deployed five Infoblox appliances including
Infoblox-1050 and -550 systems with the DNSone package. Rooms to Go is
using the products both in the main data centers and in their disaster
recovery center, leveraging Infoblox's unique grid technology to ensure
nonstop delivery of core network services. Infoblox's grid technology
links appliances at central and remote offices into a unified, distributed
system that is resilient to network and equipment failures and assures
continuous uptime.
Rooms to Go retail showrooms are located in areas with high occurrences of
natural disasters including hurricanes, tornados and flooding. In the
event of a disaster, with designated Infoblox appliance grid members at a
disaster recovery site, Rooms to Go can resume services and management of
those services in minutes by promoting the DR site member appliance(s) to
serve as grid masters. Other grid members throughout the organization will
automatically re-home to newly designated DR site master appliances. They
will be automatically updated with the data necessary to immediately
respond to DNS queries and allocate DHCP leases.
