"Exactly what we have been looking for..."
Lakota Local School District in Ohio was operating its BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scheme on a separate guest network, which would handle around 15,000 student devices.
The district had previously been using a Microsoft-based solution to handle its DNS and DHCP services, but the number of devices on the network was growing, increasing the need for a more secure and robust solution – leaving the Windows server no longer fit for the job.
Network Infrastructure Manager Peter Mitchell decided to replace the servers with a redundant DHCP solution and quickly found ApplianSys' DNSBOX to be ideal, and well within the school's budget.
The district has now deployed two pairs of DNSBOX200 DHCP servers to handle its guest network, providing high availability.
I have worked with a Windows DNS server previously, and having used both
DNSBOX and Windows, I prefer using your DNSBOXes. The interface is easy to use and
very intuitive."
