How Gaylord Palms Managed Its IT Infrastructure

With a growing network, Gaylord Palms sought to upgrade its core Infoblox NIOS DDI on-premises software bundle. This required updating to new Trinzic appliances, leveraging Grid technology and incorporating Infoblox’s reporting and analytics capabilities into their infrastructure.

The Gaylord Palms team adopted a subscription model to simplify their implementation and ensure they were continually able to take advantage of the latest networking technologies available.

Streamlined Network Operations

Network operations are responsible for ensuring that all IT infrastructure components function properly and that users can access the services they need. However, this can be a time-consuming process.

Streamlining network operations can help businesses save time and resources. It can also improve the overall performance of their networks.

To achieve streamlined network operations, organizations must implement the right technologies. These can include software and hardware that track several performance and availability metrics, as well as automation capabilities for repetitive network tasks.

The right technologies can also enable IT teams to better manage their networks and reduce downtime. This can help to increase business productivity and ensure that employees can access the services they need when they need them.

Streamlined network operations also make it easier for IT staff to keep up with the latest technology trends and advancements. This can also help to protect the organization’s data and assets. This is especially important for companies that have sensitive data.

Increased Visibility

The Gaylord Palms team has enjoyed a solid performance from Infoblox core DDI since 2015, but with continued business growth and new technologies coming on line at an ever-increasing pace, the company knew it needed to refresh its implementation. Network Specialists Tom Arnold and Nova Mtunga recognized that the best way to modernize the organization’s networking infrastructure was to switch from a one-time perpetual license model to a multi-year subscription solution.

To accomplish this, the Gaylord team deployed Infoblox Grid technology to provide visibility into DNS, DHCP and IP address management operations across its massive network. The resulting system also offers a more user-friendly reporting and analytics module that the team can use to compile key performance metrics for planning resource allocation and providing network management reports to executive leadership. With this new functionality, the Gaylord team is well on its way to a modernized and secure network. It’s a win for everyone.

Reduced Costs

The hotel business is an extremely competitive one. Gaylord Hotels competes against numerous other hotel properties throughout the United States and abroad, particularly in group-oriented destination hotels.

These hotels are operated by companies that have greater financial, marketing and human resource capabilities than the Company does. This competition can adversely affect hotel revenues, profitability and shareholder value.

In addition, the hotel industry is highly competitive for managerial and marketing talent. The Company cannot guarantee that its hotels will be able to attract and retain high quality management and marketing personnel.

To address these challenges, Gaylord Entertainment Company announced a corporate reorganization to streamline operations and eliminate duplicative costs. This reorganization is part of the company's overarching strategy to support its core branded businesses in hospitality, attractions and entertainment. It is also expected to result in significant cost savings.

Enhanced Security

A top-notch integrated security solution can go a long way towards keeping your business safe and sound. Having a solid foundation on which to build your security infrastructure will also help you weed out the bad stuff before it has a chance to get to you. One of the most effective ways to do this is through a well designed network topology scheme. This is an essential and crucial step in any successful security implementation plan. It will not only save you time and money, it will also ensure your business remains compliant at all times. As a result, you’ll be able to focus on the task at hand and the important matters of state without a hitch.
