Infoblox
Partner
Infoblox pioneered the development of core network services appliances, which deliver utility-grade domain name resolution (DNS), IP address assignment and management (DHCP/IPAM), configuration (TFTP/HTTP) and network time (NTP). Infoblox solutions control and automate the core services that drive all networks and applications.
Core network services are essential for all networks and applications. Put simply: without core network services, IP-based networks and applications grind to a halt. They provide the “glue” that binds networks, users, devices, applications, and policies.
IP networks and applications are increasingly dependent on core network services and the interchange among them. For example, Microsoft's Active Directory makes extensive use of DNS to function correctly. Voice over IP (VoIP) depends upon DHCP and TFTP in order to work and most modern applications—including e-mail, ERP, CRM, and all web-based applications—are heavily dependent on DNS. The importance of core network services is poised to increase even further due to the growth in IP-enabled devices—such as RFID systems, VoIP handsets, wireless devices, etc.—and the advent of new requirements to support mobility, convergence, security, and compliance.
