Infoblox
DELIVERING THE ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR YOUR KEY APPLICATIONS
Khipu Networks were one of the first security integrators to introduce Infoblox into the UK market in 2005 and since this time, we have deployed some of the largest and complex Infoblox projects in Europe.
Infoblox network identity appliances provide the essential foundation for delivering utility-grade core network services including DNS, DHCP and IPAM. The Infoblox core network services platform can be used to upgrade legacy infrastructure, support advanced applications, and build identity-driven networks that integrate identity into the fabric of the network for security and compliance.
Conventional solutions for network identity services are based on software running on servers with standard operating systems, and are difficult to deploy and manage, expensive to patch and maintain, and do not provide the level of service integration or real-time performance necessary to support new security initiatives, pervasive mobile networking, convergence applications like VoIP, or compliance reporting requirements.
Why Infoblox instead of Microsoft or in-house developed solutions?
This February 2009 white paper by ESG's Jon Oltsik explains why
most enterprises are wasting time and money by manually managing
their networks with freeware and spreadsheets and/or legacy IPAM
solutions. This is a great companion piece to a recent
Computerworld report that found enterprises incurring rising per
unit costs as additional IP addresses are added to a network.
ESG's Jon Oltsik shows why most organisations are spending too much
on simply keeping their network available by relying on outdated
tools and processes for IP address management - many enterprises
could reduce their capital and operating expenses by as
much as 50% by automating and integrating IP address
management with other core network services including DNS and
DHCP.
This 9 page report is remarkably concise and powerful and also include a 3 year total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison between manual IPAM with freeware and spreadsheets and fully automated and integrated IPAM via an appliance-based solution. Please click here to download the report.
DNS/DHCP for Microsoft Active Directory (AD)
Microsoft AD depends on reliable DNS services. Offload DNS and DHCP from domain controllers to eliminate security risk, increase availability, simplify management, and enable regulatory compliance.
IP Address Management (IPAM)
Managing IP addresses is critical to maintaining the operational
health and security of any IP network. Infoblox offers a suite of
IPAM solutions that meet the needs of any size organization.
Network Services for Voice Over IP (VoIP)
Integrated DNS, DHCP and TFPT services in the Infoblox
Network Services for VoIP package enable dial-tone reliability for
delivering IP addresses to phones, simplify distribution of phone
firmware and configurations, and provide a platform for future
support for 802.1X authentication of phones and other IP-based
devices.
Nonstop Resilient DNS/DHCP Infrastructure
Infoblox DNSone applianced-based solutions help companies deploy best practices architecture for resilient, secure, scalable, nonstop DNS and DHCP services in any IP network environment.
802.1X/Wireless Authentication
The Infoblox Network Services for Authentication package includes support for the RADIUS protocol and the underlying authentication methods required for 802.1X authentication, as well as the Infoblox grid module. Infoblox grid technology allows hundreds of appliances to provide authentication services throughout an enterprise network with central management and automatic replication of user credentials (user names and passwords).
Infoblox is the market leader in network identity appliances and has been deployed by leading companies around the world as American Express Hertz and Pfizer, to deliver network identity solutions as from External and Internal DNS, to Radius and Authenticated DHCP solutions.
