By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on June 2008 Rooms To Go, Seffner, Fla., the nation’s largest independent furniture chain, expects to sharply reduce downtime of its core network services with technology from Infoblox, Santa Clara, Calif., to deliver internal and external domain name resolution (DNS) and IP address assignment and management.

In an announcement by Infoblox Monday, the company said Rooms To Go has 1 million customers annually in its 130 stores in seven states, which require 24-7 availability of its network. The furniture retailer had tried other products for its core network service, but experienced multiple DNS failures and network downtime. The company also was seeking a solution that offered a disaster recovery solution.

“We needed a secure and reliable solution, and Infoblox delivered,” said Jason Hall, Rooms To Go’s IT manager. “With our business dependence on the network, failure is not acceptable. With our previous DNS solutions, we experienced multiple outages, downtime and instability. The Infoblox solution has given Rooms to Go a strong, secure, highly available and affordable solution.”
