Retail customers expect fast, convenient and accurate transactions, and there can be huge financial implications when retailers can’t meet those expectations. Customers can easily leave a store or abandon an online cart for a competitor, and may never return.
Reliable, available networks are keys to completing transactions and delivering a positive customer experience. Yet network infrastructure management in the retail sector is daunting. IT teams must manage an extremely diverse set of IP-enabled devices (like scanners and RFID) across a distributed architecture with limited local support, often using risky manual processes. Add to those challenges a set of constantly changing environments and compliance mandates like PCI and ITIL and even the best IT professional is put to the test.
Often stores fall into the trap of assuming local control is paramount, but without the central control provided by network automation, retailers face:
Infoblox ensures an agile, resilient and predictable network infrastructure for our retail customers. We help users automate and control core network services and deliver business solutions. Instead of relying on autonomous local experts, the centralized control and console greatly improve staff efficiency and reduce the risk of poor network performance or outages.
Infoblox provides a single, integrated interface and hardened appliances with patented high-available Grid™ technology to reduce the risk for outages normally associated with Microsoft or Unix server platforms. The tracking and auditing for DNS, DHCP, IP address and network changes meet compliance requirements and help identify potential issues faster and easier than the traditional reactive troubleshooting approach.
