挑战
Proximus, the largest quadplay operator in Belgium, was facing a challenge in migrating its customers to a new broadband infrastructure with minimal impact on uptime. The company had upgraded its backbone to a capacity of multi-Terabit/s and decentralized its Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) functionalities. This resulted in a migration from 10 central BNG-nodes towards 700+ existing decentralized nodes. With the new design planning to deploy more than 700 devices for the BNG service, management of local pools was no longer possible. Proximus therefore needed to unify DHCP service via a central solution capable of providing high capacity and performances. The challenge was to create a solution to add new scopes and ranges to the centralized DHCP service, while at the same time enabling the adequate routing on the backbone to the newly created infrastructure.
解决方案
Proximus selected EfficientIP’s high-performance DHCP for its unique capability to simplify the network with a centralized architecture, while at the same time handling mass volumes of clients. Only one pair of geo-redundant management servers (active / hot-standby) was needed, with one pair of geo-redundant DHCP servers. A total of just four servers was therefore capable of handling the current number of customers, leaving a spare capacity of 40% for the management servers and more than 1 million customers on the DHCP servers. Fewer servers also meant less power consumption, reduced complexity and a lower price. Other factors which made selection of EfficientIP evident included support of IPv6 and simplified management of IP pools, which removed risks of configuration errors. Capability to automate processes was also a big advantage, made possible by how easy it was to use API calls in a structured manner.

Case Study
Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
