INFOBLOX

Appliance-based DNS SEC/ DHCP/ RADIUS/ IPAM

Infoblox appliances deliver network identity services-including DNS, DHCP, IPAM, RADIUS, and File Transfer Services in reliable, secure, easy to deploy, manageable platforms. Infoblox ID Grids are created by linking appliances together across a distributed enterprise. The ID Grid is not a separate management and reporting application which overlays the individual appliances. Instead, devices within an ID Grid are linked using sophisticated distributed database technology embedded within each appliance.  All traffic is encrypted via SSL VPN tunnels. This transforms the collection of appliances into a unified system with very unique and beneficial attributes. Additional services provide centralized time synchronization via Network Time Protocol (NTP), and file delivery services via TFTP, FTP, and HTTP, allowing devices such as phones, RFID readers, IP cameras, and others to receive up-to-date firmware, software, and configuration data.

The Infoblox Grid configuration addresses the basic problems and cost inefficiencies that remain unresolved when independent servers or appliances are deployed across a distributed enterprise.  Namely, each server or appliance must be individually deployed, configured, managed and upgraded, and also each independent server or appliance cannot ensure the availability, accuracy and timeliness of network identity data. Individual servers or appliances: do not act as an integrated system, cannot offer high availability, are not robust enough in the face of network outages, increase the burden on IT staff, and fail to reduce Total Cost of Ownership.

Infoblox Core Technologies

Infoblox solutions rely upon two core underlying technologies: the embedded Infoblox NIOS software and our patented Grid technology.

Infoblox NIOS™ software, running on Infoblox appliances, delivers nonstop core network services—including DNS, DHCP, IPAM, RADIUS, TFTP, NTP and others—that are critical to the operation of all IP-based networks. Appliance delivery of these services has become a recommended industry best practice for any size organization, because appliances are inherently more reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure than software on general-purpose servers. For large organizations, distributed Infoblox appliances can be connected into unified grids that provide unparalleled management, control, visibility, and service resiliency.

Infoblox grid technology links a collection of appliances into a unified, centrally-managed, core network services platform. At the grid’s foundation is a distributed database called bloxSDB™ with real-time data replication across all Infoblox member appliances. This essential infrastructure allows organizations to distribute, automate and consolidate critical information and services with assured data integrity an unparalleled manageability.
