Infoblox Unleashes Network Automation and Control by Providing Elastic Scaling and Intelligence to Power the Next-Generation ...
November 07 2016 - 9:00AM
Infoblox Inc. (NYSE:BLOX), the network control company that
provides Actionable Network Intelligence, today announced the
latest release of its software (NIOS 8.0) for DNS, DHCP and IP
Address Management (DDI) to automatically scale according to the
needs of the network. NIOS 8.0 provides organizations with “elastic
scaling” capability – a way to add or reduce DDI capacity on-demand
for a network. Infoblox is also adding new appliances to its
product line that offer more than 50 percent performance
improvements over the current appliances to help customers
seamlessly expand their networks - without impacting their DNS and
DHCP performance.
Given that business environments are dynamic and
fast-paced, enterprises need the agility to transform their
networks around new digital business models. This makes the ability
to dynamically scale IT services an imperative. Yet the reality is
that many legacy network solutions fail to provide the flexibility
and visibility needed by organizations to meet their constantly
evolving business needs.
With Infoblox NIOS 8.0 software, enterprises can
utilize the increased performance with flexible scaling across
diverse and hybrid cloud infrastructures to seamlessly expand their
network and run additional security services without compromising
on the control and security of their network. Additionally,
new subscription pricing models announced today help provide the
flexibility required by customers to choose the consumption model
that best suits their business needs.
“The addition of elastic scaling and high
performance appliances is a major milestone as it marks the first
time any DDI vendor has provided this capability combined in a
multi-cloud, multi-platform solution,” said Scott Fulton, executive
vice president of products at Infoblox. “With today’s launch, we
can provide our customers with the flexibility they need to readily
integrate with other systems and improve performance and automation
across today’s hybrid environments. These capabilities combined
with license mobility and subscription-based pricing options help
enable our customers to adjust to ever-changing business needs that
require a robust underlying next-generation network.”
In addition to offering flexible scale and
performance, Infoblox has also introduced substantial enhancements
to its DNS Traffic Control solution to improve employee
productivity and application response times by leveraging
intelligent load balancing capabilities that automatically direct
application traffic to the optimal server and/or data center.
“The ability to simplify our DNS load balancing
operations with Infoblox DNS Traffic Control was a big factor in
our choice of vendor,” said Jason Seager, network solutions
manager, The Hershey Company. “Infoblox is the only DDI vendor
we've seen that integrates DNS and GSLB functions making it simple
to manage with little operational overhead.”
Other key features in Infoblox NIOS 8.0
include:
- New Microsoft Azure Integration: Customers can
now automatically provision and manage their DNS infrastructure in
Microsoft Azure. Infoblox helps enable customers to integrate with
more cloud technologies than any other DDI solution, including:
VMware, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, BMC,
Cisco, HP, IBM and more.
- Actionable Insights: New discovery, analytics
and reporting capabilities enable tighter control and security for
enterprise networks. With device discovery extended to wireless
networks, advanced DNS analytics, predictive DDI analytics and much
more, customers can have comprehensive visibility, analytics and
security for all devices on enterprise networks. Administrators can
closely manage all assets connected to their networks, identify
rogue devices quickly and use advanced network insights for audit,
compliance and security purposes.
- Subscription based pricing and License
Mobility: Infoblox now gives customers flexible budgeting
options and mobility to seamlessly transfer licenses and simplify
enterprise migration from physical to virtual to cloud by
introducing subscription based pricing for its products.
