Right-Sized DHCP Solution for Global Law Firm
A leading global law firm with 75 offices across 28 countries needed a centrally managed DHCP solution as it transitioned its infrastructure to the cloud.
It had been using a Microsoft Windows-based setup, but the firm required an appliance-based solution that could be centrally managed across two data centers for greater reliability and control.
The firm considered several vendors, including Infoblox, but found its solution to be overly complex, expensive, and heavily sales-driven, pushing unnecessary professional services. Instead, it selected ApplianSys' DNSBOX, which provided a better technical fit at a fraction of the cost.

It deployed two DNSBOX210 appliances in an Active/Passive failover DHCP configuration, along with Dynamic DNS. The solution was straightforward to configure, with simplified access to troubleshooting information compared to the previous Microsoft setup.
With DNSBOX, the firm now has:
- Centrally managed DHCP across its global offices, supporting four subnets at each site for voice, data, mobile, and management traffic.
- Granular UI access levels, allowing local staff to manage static hosts (e.g., printers) without affecting network configurations.
- A right-sized, cost-effective solution—delivering the required performance without the unnecessary complexity of enterprise alternatives.
