Gyrocom successfully deliver integrated Infoblox DDI (DNS,DHCP and IP address management) services to the Kingfisher Group driving improved efficiency, supportability and availability.

Kingfisher IT Services (KITS) was formed with a mandate to deliver robust but cost effective IT solutions to the various Kingfisher Group Operating entities, and has developed a strategy to exploit the economies of scale afforded by pooling resources wherever possible. Years of acquisitions & mergers mean that KITS is made up of disparate infrastructures consisting of a variety of technologies and solutions.

Physical consolidation was seen as a priority and a need for a group-hosting infrastructure that linked the “legacy islands” was defined. The objective was to provide users with access to shared systems from any Kingfisher Operating Company. The shared area will enable KITS to rapidly deploy shared systems thus aligning with the “Delivering Value” plan and business expansion across all market sectors. A number of critical services were required within the Kingfisher network to facilitate the delivery of a reliable, useable, manageable and secure group hosting area. These services included Active Directory, DNS, IP address management and NTP.
