For mission-critical government networks, Infoblox ensures agile, resilient and predictable network services for both civilian and Department of Defense networks. Infoblox helps our customers ensure network availability and work smarter, not harder by automating many of the normal daily grind tasks that take staff off other critical functions. Increasing efficiency with network automation combined with the control and knowledge of network change and behavior greatly improves overall service quality and network uptime.
With high-availability, resilient appliances, Infoblox helps government agencies meet network service requirements for their ever-changing needs. The single, integrated interface, and scalable and hardened appliances with patented high-availability Grid™ technology reduce the risk for outages normally associated with Microsoft or Unix server platforms. The tracking and auditing of DNS, DHCP, IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) and network changes not only help meet compliance requirements, but also help identify potential issues faster and easier than the traditional reactive troubleshooting approach.
Government-based networks can be challenging to manage because of their size, scope, extreme security requirements, critical mission services and IT governance mandates, such as STIG, IAVA, DISA, NSA and FISMA best practices. While a breach or failure at most corporate enterprises can result in serious consequences, few environments directly support national security agencies and armed forces, where any major IT issue can dramatically affect the lives of citizens, both domestic and abroad.
In today’s economic environment, most federal, state and local government agencies face the challenge of maintaining and improving overall service quality with limited, often shrinking budgets and resources. When asked to do more with less in the past, many IT staff have pursued traditional, legacy and manual approaches just to tread water. Now, however, Infoblox offers governmental agencies alternative, cost-reducing solutions for dealing with network infrastructure. By eliminating resource-consuming manual management techniques, Infoblox can typically decrease your time, your costs and the risks associated with managing IP addresses, DNS, DHCP and network change and configuration.
Along with more than 4,000 organizations, many federal, state and local governmental agencies have deployed Infoblox solutions to ensure maximum network uptime, internal compliance, and proactive change management, while simultaneously making constant improvements to their dynamic infrastructure.
IT departments within the government sector often have extremely dynamic, change ridden and complex network environments. Adding all of the standards and best practices such as NSA, DISA, IAVA, STIG and FISMA to the equation places additional burdens on a stretched thin staff for maintaining network availability, as well as ensuring compliance. Government agencies tend to have standalone offices and different approaches, which lead to exposure including limited local expertise, human errors and blurring of responsibilities across offices and disciplines.
Even the most leading-edge agencies make many of the same mistakes by maintaining the status quo and overlooking the importance of the network infrastructure services. This leads to:
The Infoblox solutions for DNS, DHCP, IP address management and network configuration and change management have been deployed by over 4,000 customers worldwide.
