Managed IT Gaylord: When the IT team at Gaylord Palms began planning a refresh of its Infoblox implementation in early 2020, they wanted to upgrade to a subscription-based solution that would enable them to leverage new networking technology as it became available. Specifically, they decided to update their core NIOS DDI on-premises software bundle with Grid technology and add Infoblox’s reporting and analytics capabilities.
What We Do
Gaylord Hotels, part of the Marriott portfolio of brands, provides extraordinary environments with everything in one place — multiple dining options, full-service spas, pools, top-notch entertainment, shopping and more. Its five properties, including Gaylord Opryland in Nashville; Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida; Gaylord Texan on Lake Grapevine; National Harbor in National Harbor, Maryland; and Aurora in Colorado, offer 10,412 rooms and are known worldwide for their exceptional customer service.
When Gaylord’s network specialists, Tom Arnold and Nova Mutonga, began exploring a refresh of their Infoblox core DDI implementation in early 2020, they knew that the best approach was to switch from the conventional one-time perpetual license model to a subscription-based solution. By leveraging the newly available Infoblox multi-year subscription option, the Gaylord team was able to modernize their network infrastructure, enable continuous adoption of new Infoblox solutions and gain greater visibility into their network performance to better plan resource allocation for the future. Ultimately, the upgrade was a success and has enabled the Gaylord team to continue enjoying the benefits of their Infoblox investment.

Managed Security
Across the globe, organizations are struggling to find qualified cybersecurity staff. This skills gap is growing, causing businesses to struggle to keep up with changing threats.
Managed security services are a cost-effective way to address this challenge. These service models monitor and manage security devices, systems and even Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.
MSS services can include overall responsibilities or specific tasks, such as patch management and upgrades, security assessments and audits, and incident response engagements. They can also provide threat intelligence gathered from open and private sources.
When choosing managed security services, it is important to understand the level of response your organization requires and how to best deploy a third-party IR team to support your needs. For example, a lighter response can be useful for a quick review of alerts and warnings to contain threats while a deeper response can be more valuable when responding to complex, sensitive events. However, it can be difficult to determine what level of response is right for your business.
Managed Networking
Gaylord Entertainment, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, is home to some of the nation's most popular hotels. In addition to the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, its portfolio includes the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine and Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee.
As one of the largest non-gaming convention centers in the country, Gaylord is known for its state-of-the-art meeting spaces. In an effort to enhance the guest experience, it opted to install Aruba Networks wireless Internet throughout its expansive properties.
With a growing IT staff and rapidly evolving network requirements, Gaylord knew that a refresh of their aging Infoblox core DDI implementation was in order. The result was a multi-year subscription solution that included Infoblox's Grid technology and made deploying and scaling network services easier than ever before. Moreover, the new solution provided an impressive number of other benefits including lower costs and greater flexibility with installation and support.
