Authoritative DNS for Service Providers
Cost-efficient Selection, Discovery, and Management
In dynamic networks, network elements are added or changed continuously in response to traffic growth, new service areas, re-allocation of capacity, new network services, and many other scenarios. Every element requires an accurate IP address and every change requires an update of the database or zone map of authoritative DNS servers.
Infoblox Authoritative DNS with automated Grid and DNS Traffic Control reduce the administrative burden of updating and maintain accurate records, supports efficient node assignment, improves network visibility, and helps service providers meet subscriber expectations for high speed and responsiveness while keeping operating costs low.

Grid Automation
Automated Grid processes reduce the administrative burden and safeguard against manual data entry or configuration errors that can disrupt service for subscribers and increase costs for operators. Efficient capabilities include single bulk import, pre-testing to eliminate possible syntax errors, simultaneous or phased update of all changes, and quick reversion in the event of error or emergency.
DNS Traffic Control
Infoblox DNS Traffic Control monitors the status of network nodes, considering the originating region of the connection request, and provides an accurate selection list of truly available nodes in the appropriate geographic area. If a node is out of service, it will be dropped from the list. This dynamic monitoring and allocation of node assignments prevents over-provisioning of network nodes, maintains consistent availability, and prevents directing traffic to nodes that are actually out of service.

Mobile Service Selection
The Infoblox mobile service selection solution supports 3GPP-defined use cases and delivers carrier-grade performance and availability to support a superior subscriber experience. Additionally, the solution dynamically monitors element status, supporting efficient assignments only to truly available nodes, and reducing administrative operating costs.
