No alternate solutions. You must have a MIB. But...

... if you find standard MIBs (IETF RFCs) that totally or partially
fulfill your needs, then you should consider adopting them.

I can see how it is done from an existing MIB, but don't put your own
objects inside an existing MIB. That is illegal. Your company shhould
request a private node. See more on this bellow

Under your MIB just go ahead and choose the numbers you want. Try to
find a MIB that is similar to your needs and do something similar.

I guess you would have to submit the registration of your enterprise
node in the SMI. I guess you should request this to the IETF or to the
IANA...

Usually, companies use a common 'abstract' node for all their MIBs and
derive all their product's MIBs from that node.

Lets imagine IANA/IETF assigned YourCompany the number 54321 under the
enterprises node (.1.3.6.1.4.1). You might find usefull not to use
directlly the .1.3.6.1.4.1.54321 OID to store YourProductA, but to store
it under .1.3.6.1.4.1.54321.1, YourProductB under .1.3.6.1.4.1.54321.2,
etc.

Then it is up to you to spread your OIDs inside the MIB. Under that
number (54321) you rule.
