Case Study
Global Deployment of IPAM at Top Tier Pharmaceutical Company
This large pharmaceutical company was facing the following challenges: - Solidify the network as the infrastructure across which their intellectual property is developed, quality-assured and delivered to market while enhancing global network security, speed and agility. - Better manage the process of merging acquired companies into the main corporate network. - Reduce business risk by implementing role-based access, full change tracking and the replacement of fragmented, spreadsheet-based management of IPAM data. - Increase the ROI on network-associated IT investments, such as virtualization, cloud and SDN.
Case Study
The Medical University Simplifies Network Management with BlueCat
With nearly 3,000 students in six colleges, 1,500 full and part-time teaching staff and a 750-bed medical center, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is the only comprehensive academic health center in South Carolina. MUSC offers educational programs in the biomedical sciences, dentistry, health professions, medicine, nursing and pharmacy. Each year, MUSC admits almost 33,000 patients to its hospitals, while its outpatient facilities serve 800,000 patients. MUSC’s network spans 30+ remote sites and its IP address space is comprised of approximately 30,000 IP addresses. The network must support the diverse needs of both the hospital and university, as well as the intensive demands of medical researchers for online collaboration.
Case Study
Scalable Global Routing for Hybrid Cloud in the Insurance Industry
A multinational insurer had heavily invested in Azure five years ago and was now facing a challenge with cloud expansion. The company had around 20 application sites and over 450 user sites to interconnect, and it wanted to maintain seamless operations. More importantly, it wanted to ensure consistent policy enforcement, security, and risk management across its entire hybrid estate. The security and risk team had mandated the use of private IP for internal network resources. However, the cloud team, without fully understanding the networking implications, deployed Private Endpoints in Azure to secure the IP. This made it impossible to resolve DNS and ensure connectivity between data center resources and Azure DNS zones. The cloud team realized that they could not meet both their security and scalability requirements using their Azure toolset alone.
Case Study
Medical Technology Company Streamlines Operations with BlueCat's Network Automation
A leading medical technology company with nearly $20 billion in annual revenue and over 70,000 employees worldwide faced a complex challenge in managing network connections between its medical devices and service staff. The company had recently connected all its devices to the internet for remote diagnostics and updates, but this introduced several issues. Firstly, under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), all connections between medical devices and the company’s servers had to be encrypted, requiring the creation and management of separate VPN tunnels for over 15,000 field-deployed devices. Secondly, the devices, deployed in various medical centers and clinics, were assigned IP addresses by the network teams of each facility, often without coordination, leading to potential IP address conflicts. Lastly, the company’s network infrastructure, shaped by multiple mergers, acquisitions, strategic initiatives, and partnerships, was complex and difficult to manage, especially with the recent adoption of AWS cloud for much of its internal compute.

Scalable Automation Initiatives in the Healthcare Industry: A Case Study
The healthcare network, a 129,000-person organization, was facing a significant challenge in scaling their automation initiatives. The network's small team of professionals was struggling to maintain control over their DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) services. They were using Powershell scripts to interface with BlueCat’s API, which initially proved the value of automating DDI services. However, as the project grew, the team began to encounter scalability issues. The team was concerned about the execution of code in multiple places and the need to establish some order to manage the growing complexity.
Case Study
Global Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Visibility in the Manufacturing Industry: A Case Study
The multinational manufacturer was grappling with a complex and unmanageable network infrastructure due to the presence of thousands of subscriptions on multiple clouds. The company's network was organized to support innovation across various verticals, but the lack of visibility into the cloud subscriptions posed a significant challenge. The cloud and networking teams needed to manage the allocation of IP addresses and namespaces to avoid conflicts and respond securely to queries across on-premises and the cloud. They also needed to track usage for service health, security, and compliance purposes. However, the cloud service providers (CSPs) were not cooperative in providing the multi-cloud visibility they required.
