MetaX Integrated Circuits (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. Enhancing Operational Efficiency, Reliability and Disaster Recovery with Integrated DDI

EfficientIP

Technology Category	Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing
Applicable Industries	Electronics
Applicable Functions	Discrete Manufacturing Business Operation
Use Cases	Process Control & Optimization Cybersecurity
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services System Integration
Challenge	MetaX was looking for a more structural way to manage IP space, DHCP and DNS on one platform to prevent error-prone network service configuration and improve team working efficiency. They were using Microsoft DNS, managed by Active Directory, which had certain limitations making it incapable of adequately supporting the rapidly-growing business requirements. The IT team was aiming to improve IT performance as well as security. It was clear the whole IT infrastructure needed to be redesigned taking into consideration business requirements. Having a high-availability, integrated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution was mandatory to make this happen. Read More
About Customer	MetaX is committed to providing full-stack GPU chips and solutions for heterogeneous computing. The company was founded in Shanghai in September 2020 and has established wholly-owned subsidiaries and R&D centers in Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Wuhan. They were looking for a more structural way to manage IP space, DHCP and DNS on one platform in order to prevent error-prone network service configuration and improve team working efficiency.

Solution	After evaluating solutions including those from local vendors, the decision was made to take EfficientIP’s SOLIDserverTM DDI, which offered the rich features required by MetaX. Key features included the dynamic integrated DNS/DHCP/IP Address management solution, and SmartArchitecture templates for simplified, fast implementation. The resulting stable DDI platform enabled the MS AD structure to be easily changed, as well as the email environment. EfficientIP’s DNS GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) product was also leveraged, to enhance application availability via load balancing of application traffic and health checking functionalities.

Impact #1	The migration to SOLIDserverTM DDI brought immediate benefits to MetaX network operations, security and reliability.
Impact #2	Deployment of DNS rules for critical infrastructure has become much simpler.
Impact #3	DHCP is now dynamic (it was previously static) so IP addresses can be received in just a few milliseconds.
