Santa Clara, Calif. — Nov. 9, 2020 — Infoblox Inc. (“Infoblox”), the leader in Secure Cloud-Managed Network Services, announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, is recognizing Infoblox Network Identity Operating System (NIOS) 8.5 as a finalist in the Network Security category of the 2020 CRN Tech Innovator Awards.

The annual CRN Tech Innovator Awards program honors innovative vendors in the IT channel across 49 technology categories, in key areas ranging from cloud to security to storage to networking. CRN editors assessed hundreds of vendor products along multiple criteria, including uniqueness, key capabilities, technological competency, and addressing customer needs.

Introduced in March 2020, Infoblox NIOS 8.5 unifies network monitoring for Infoblox’s on-premises and cloud-managed DDI solutions, which simplifies visibility and management for customers facing an increasingly hybrid infrastructure. This latest update also enables organizations to deploy robust, manageable and cost-effective DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI) services to networks of any size, while providing a bridge to innovative, cloud-based networking services and IT management solutions.

“As enterprises move to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, network administration is more complex and network security, more difficult,” said Dave Signori, Vice President of Core DDI Product Management, Infoblox. “NIOS 8.5 answers this challenge by helping Infoblox channel partners enable customers to bridge on-premises and cloud-managed networks and by delivering secure enterprise-grade DDI services.”

“CRN’s Tech Innovator Awards celebrate technology vendors that empower end users and promote business growth for solution providers with pioneering, purpose-built solutions,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Congratulations to each of this year’s CRN Tech Innovator Award finalists! We are honored to recognize these best-in-class vendors that are powering IT transformation and innovation.”

The Tech Innovator Awards will be featured in the December issue of CRN and can be viewed online at crn.com/techinnovators.
