Neustar is pleased to announce its strategic relationship with Infoblox, a leading provider of core network services for business and government enterprises.

With increasing adoption of IP networking to support core business processes and communication services both on the Internet and behind the corporate firewall, enterprises need solutions that deliver superior IP performance. While both the Internet and the enterprise network leverage IP technology, the two environments provide enterprises with unique challenges. On the Internet, enterprises require access to a global infrastructure that can deliver fast, consistent performance and withstand the constant threat from cyber crimes such as pharming and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Behind the firewall, enterprises need to support, monitor and maintain a whole myriad of user, application, and device requirements while protecting the network from unauthorized access.

Neustar is committed to providing enterprises with superior solutions to support their IP environments on both sides of the firewall. With our UltraDNS service line, Neustar has established itself as the premier provider of managed authoritative services to the enterprise market. Through its global UltraDNS ‘cloud’ infrastructure, consisting of 15 DNS server cluster nodes across five continents, Neustar has brought new levels of reliability, performance, and security to the external DNS environment, critical to the successful operation of Internet based applications.

Now through our strategic relationship with Infoblox, Neustar is able to offer its customers the industry’s most powerful and widely deployed platform for controlling and automating core network services. Infoblox’s GRID architecture has revolutionized the internal DNS/DHCP/IPAM infrastructure, bringing new levels of performance, data integrity, and flexibility to the internal IP network environments of thousands of enterprises. The traditional approach of deploying distributed DNS/DHCP appliances with limited coordination is proving increasingly inadequate to provide the performance required to address the increasing complexity of the IP environment behind the firewall. The GRID architecture has addressed this by unifying the appliances into a centrally managed core network services platform, with real-time data replication across all member appliances. Infoblox solutions are used by over 3,000 organizations worldwide, including over 100 of the Fortune 500.
