Title: Network Architect - IPAM/InfoBlox P3

Location: Buena Vista FL 32830

Duration: Fulltime

Job Description:

The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) is depleting its available IPv4 addresses due to normal business consumption as well as through large acquisition initiatives. IPv4 address availability on the Disney Global Network (DGN) currently stands at less than 10% of its allocated address space. To assist with the management of IPv4 address space, Disney purchased InfoBlox to allow the consolidation of several tracking systems, but several years into the purchase, the InfoBlox system is not fully configured, and new address allocations are still being requested.

The DGN is being dual-stacked to handle both IPv6 and IPv4 communications so that applications and services can be migrated to IPv6 over time as they are ready. The IPv6 portion of InfoBlox should be complete and only a verification is needed since the IPv6 portion of InfoBlox was built from scratch during the ongoing project.

We are building an enterprise automation tool and creating the necessary automation templates to support the IPv4/IPv6 address changes on the network devices.

Additional Information

This position will work with other Network Architects to define system requirements and design the proposed InfoBlox configuration. After the design is approved, the candidate will update InfoBlox and determine which address ranges are not being leveraged properly so that we can more efficiently manage the IP addresses. This position will be located at the Disney Information Services Center and will be required to be onsite three days a week.
