“The migration from Microsoft DNS/DHCP to Infoblox was seamless and as smooth as expected. It took less time than anticipated and solved our DNS reliability problems instantly”
Leading Health, Fitness and Media Company
“It’s been said that ‘trust is hard won and easily broken.’ Fortunately, Infoblox provides secure, reliable world-class DDI that we can trust. It’s our platform of choice for global network consistency, single control plane visibility and provides us with the scalability we need to serve our expanding global regions.”
Leading SIEM Data Platform
“From the security perspective, Infoblox security solutions and integrations fortify the company’s security posture and help it deliver a strong security response.”
Global Weather Service
“The company used Infoblox’s hybrid architecture with BloxOne DDI and the CSP to quickly provision newly merged sites and deliver instant visibility, faster supply-chain connectivity, and high-performing access at remote sites, with time for a more comprehensive data and infrastructure migration in the future.”
Global Semiconductor Company
“The BloxOne DDI solution allows medical practices to separate primary and guest networks for compliance and security, simplify operations, improve efficiency and reduce cost, and offload network overhead while delivering a reliable connected experience for patients and their families.”
Leading Hospital
“The migration and cutover from Microsoft domain controllers to Infoblox was flawless. You don’t have to be a huge company with a large network and security team to see and realize the value of Infoblox. A Microsoft DNS/DHCP migration is less than 40 hours and $10K for services to get secure, world-class DDI. And BloxOne Threat Defense is simple and does a great job keeping us safe from threats and bad actors. For a small IT team, it’s simply fantastic.”
