Technology Partners


Infoblox is a Cisco Technology Developer Partner. Working together with Cisco, Infoblox delivers utility-grade core network services including DNS, DHCP, IPAM, RADIUS, and more as a virtual appliance solution running on a Cisco Integrated Services Router (AXP).

The Cisco® Application eXtension Platform (AXP) extends the integration technology capability of integrated services routers to the next level. It enables third parties such as independent software vendors, systems integrators, managed service providers, and large enterprise customers to extend the functionality of the router by providing their own value-added integrated services customized to the individual business. The Cisco Technology Developer program ensures that members’ products and technologies have verified interoperability, adhere to strict standards, and offer exciting new capabilities for Cisco joint customers



Gold Certified Partner: Advanced Infrastructure Solutions
Infoblox is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with an Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency. This competency identifies Infoblox as an experienced partner fully qualified to deploy products with the Active Directory and Identity Management solutions from Microsoft. The Infoblox DNSone appliance-based solution is fully compatible with Microsoft DNS and DHCP services and integrates seamlessly into a Microsoft environment. Similarly, the Network Services for Authentication package offers "point-and-click" integration with Microsoft Active Directory as a user repository. This allows for a reliable, secure solution for supporting wireless deployments, perimeter security, and other applications.

Network Access Protection (NAP) Partner
Infoblox extends the power and security of Microsoft NAP, by integrating its DHCP as an enforcement point within any NAP architecture. Through integration with other Microsoft Network Access Protection partners’ security tools (e.g. endpoint policy compliance software), Infoblox allows enterprises to apply security policies specific to operating system versions. This helps enterprises maintain a consistent level of security in a mixed operating system environment where different levels of functionality often merit a different mix of security checks and balances.



Infoblox appliances offer Siemens and its customers a reliable, scalable and easily managed alternative to conventional DNS and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) solutions, which are typically based on software running on servers with standard operating systems. Conventional systems are difficult to deploy and manage, expensive to patch and maintain, and do not provide the level of service integration or real-time performance and resiliency necessary to support new security initiatives, pervasive mobile networking, convergence applications like VoIP, or compliance reporting requirements.

Siemens and Infoblox have completed integration work to allow Infoblox appliance monitoring and central solution management through the Siemens NMS Switch Commander (NMS) application, which is used to manage most Siemens mobile core solutions.



Infoblox is an Elite Riverbed Technology Alliance Partner. Working together with Riverbed, Infoblox delivers utility-grade core network services including DNS, DHCP, IPAM, RADIUS, and more as a virtual appliance solution running on the Riverbed Steelhead appliance. Combining Infoblox core network services with WAN optimization on Steelhead appliances allows customers to consolidate servers and improve performance while providing critical network services in branch offices. Infoblox grid capabilities enable centralized management for distributed instances of Infoblox software on Riverbed and Infoblox appliances.
