Whether you are adding staff at a single location or opening remote offices, if your organization is planning to grow, your network needs to grow, as well. If your network is very small, you may be able to manage it with manual processes without noticeable impact from mistakes or inefficiencies. But as your network grows – adding users, IP-enabled components and network devices – automation can mean the difference between a network that delivers competitive advantage and one that exposes the risks and inefficiencies of outmoded ways of working.
Infoblox provides solutions for automating critical components of network services and infrastructure, including DNS, DHCP, and IP address management, network configuration and change management, and network reporting. Our solutions help IT teams offload mundane but necessary tasks, improve security and reliability, and manage and grow network services to serve the needs of your organization.
Without network automation, IT teams often don't have the information or time to accurately measure current network capacity or effectively uncover network issues. This can lead to waste – from not reclaiming assets like unused IP addresses or switch ports – on the one hand, and problems including latency and downtime – from hard-to-isolate and -resolve issues – on the other. Infoblox network service and network infrastructure products automate processes to detect and leverage network capacity, and give IT teams historic and real-time views into network performance so they can resolve or even prevent problems.
If you had unlimited time, manpower and resources, you could manage your network manually no matter how large your network became. In reality, many teams become overburdened as the network grows and their risk for errors or shortcuts increases. Infoblox helps IT organizations reduce that risk and maximize their biggest asset, the staff.
Infoblox automation solutions put control back in the hands of the network and IT teams, by letting them offload mundane but necessary day-to-day tasks and giving them better network data more quickly. So your staff can turn their attention to efforts that will yield a higher return for your organization.
When IT teams have a holistic view of their network they can not only maximize its current capacity, they can see trends that help them better predict the right times and places to expand network services. Infoblox solutions not only provide the reporting and trend analysis to help IT teams effectively plan for network growth; they are designed to scale with your organization.
Infoblox appliances deployed in an Infoblox Grid configuration provide resilient network services, failover, recovery and seamless maintenance. Additionally, with optional Multi-Grid Management architecture, a technology that can be added to the base Infoblox Grid, organizations can deploy an even larger solution that supports thousands of hosts, centralized management of IPv4 and IPv6 networks, data partition by geography or department, as well as single sign-on and other advanced capabilities.
Branch offices and external locations pose a unique set of challenges for network teams. While IT staff can easily consolidate applications and services like email, file transfer and web connectivity with the headquarters datacenter, they struggle to consolidate basic network services like DNS, DHCP, and IP address management. Some teams look to WAN optimization controllers and additional network equipment to manage these services, but find the resulting costs and diminished network performance wipe out any savings and efficiencies they expected.
Infoblox delivers solutions that ensure constant business and network uptime, at headquarters and in branch offices. With redundant Grid™ based technologies and hardened appliances, key network services such as DNS and DHCP are always on.
