Migration from Microsoft DNS & DHCP to Centralized Services

Elevating network performance and security, one migration at a time

Empowering enterprises: smarter networking for the future.

In a transformative journey, a large technology enterprise migrated from fragmented Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers to TCPWave's centralized services, tackling challenges of scalability, security, and management efficiency. This migration involved transitioning over 220 DNS zones and 300k users across various locations to TCPWave, streamlining administration and bolstering network performance. The shift not only enhanced security and scalability but also dramatically reduced management costs and improved compliance processes. This success story underscores the strategic advantage of TCPWave's centralized DNS and DHCP solutions for modern IT infrastructures.
