Video case study – South Bound Brook Public School District
Hear what Chief Technology Officer Lenny Libitz at South Bound Brook Public School District had to say as he made the move from Microsoft Server to DNSBOX for DNS and DHCP.
Server, or find an appliance that will work for us?'
As the sole IT administrator at South Bound Brook Public School District, Lenny Libitz wanted to make his network as easy to manage and as cost-effective as possible. The district decided to migrate its network infrastructure from Microsoft to Google, embracing Chromebooks and Google Workspace.
The district no longer required Windows domain controllers for internal authentication so Lenny could remove its Windows Server — and all the related admin overhead. However, he still needed a reliable solution for his DNS and DHCP services.
Despite maintaining local virtual servers for some services, like his print server, Lenny did not want to host his DNS and DHCP service on a virtual machine. If the server went down, even from one failed maintenance update, the district would lose the ability to access the web and it would take hours or days for him to get it back online. Here's how he describes his network scenario:
Lenny realised that a dedicated DHCP server would give him the reliability and ease of use that he needed, reducing his management overhead and the risk of faulty software updates:
Within two hours, Lenny configured his new DNSBOX200 appliance and migrated all existing DHCP scopes with the help of ApplianSys support. The transition was seamless, with no issues in device connectivity. The web-based interface allowed for easy management, enabling Lenny to make changes and monitor the system from any device with a modern web browser.
The stability and reliability of DNSBOX200 and its thoroughly tested updates meant less time worrying about network issues and more time focusing on other critical IT tasks. With very little training needed to manage the appliance, Lenny was reassured that even in his absence someone else could easily take over.
Lenny confidently recommends DNSBOX200 to other organizations, especially those with limited IT resources, for its ease of use and dependable performance.
