Migrating from Microsoft DHCP – what are the options?

As more network managers move their infrastructure to the cloud, it doesn't make sense to maintain a full MS server or environment – and license cost – just for DHCP. In this video, John Grigg and Callum Key explore the options for alternatives to MS servers for on-site DHCP:

• Routers, firewalls and switches
• DIY ISC DHCP or Kea solutions
• Dedicated DHCP server like DNSBOX

In this video you'll learn:

• Why you need on-site DHCP even if your cloud provider offers a DHCP service
• Key things to consider when migrating a DHCP service
• Common questions from network managers
• How to minimise downtime

If you're watching this video...
Are you thinking about moving your Windows services to the cloud and require a dedicated, on-site DHCP server?
Or have you already moved to a cloud platform and are looking for a more cost-effective DHCP solution?

When we rebuilt the DNSBOX for DHCP platform in 2021, we saw that there was a need for a more complete DHCP service than basic routers, Windows Server or ISC's DHCPd can provide.

So we set out to build the world's best DHCP server - with the features and ease-of-use that network managers need without the fuss and big bucks of a full enterprise solution. Expert customers agree that it's the failover-ready, full-featured solution they were looking for.
