The Infoblox-2000 hardware platform is designed for deployment in data centers, large enterprises, and service provider environments. Key features, such as redundant power supplies, fans, and four-disk RAID storage, provide the availability needed for nonstop delivery of core network services. The Infoblox-2000 supports both AC and DC power options, facilitating deployment in any enterprise or carrier environment.
The fault tolerant Infoblox-2000 includes fully redundant, hot-swappable components to assure the reliability of all moving parts. Any failure of a component will not cause a failure of mission critical network services. There is no need to stop services or power down the appliance to perform maintenance or to replace a failed component.
When equipped with the
DNSone® package, the Infoblox-2000 serves more than 75,000 DNS requests per second and 750 DHCP leases per second, providing the capacity and performance required for the most demanding applications.
The Infoblox-2000 can be deployed singly, in high-availability pairs, or as a master candidate for delivering external DNS services for an enterprise’s Internet presence, disaster recovery site, or for internal DNS, DHCP, RADIUS, FTP, HTTP, and TFTP services in a data center or a large campus network. Also, equipped with the
DNSone with Grid™ package, the Infoblox-2000 can serve as a grid master or master candidate for large Infoblox grids consisting of hundreds of distributed Infoblox appliances.
In addition to the
DNSone and
DNSone with Grid packages, the Infoblox-2000 also supports all Infoblox
NIOS™ modules and packages including
Network Services for Authentication (NSA),
Network Services for VoIP (NSV),
Network Services for Alcatel-Lucent VitalQIP (NSQ), and the
Network Services Suite (NSS).
As with all members of the Infoblox appliance family, the Infoblox-2000 includes the purpose-built, security-hardened
Infoblox NIOS™ software, which provides industry-standard, high-availability failover and also includes the powerful, built-in bloxSDB™ database.
