Realize continuous uptime
A distributed architecture ensures availability when a key site goes down or connectivity is lost. It also eliminates manual synchronization that could result in errors or service disruption.
- Eliminate single points of failure
- Maintain business continuity for key systems
- Do away with manual synchronization that can introduce errors or service disruption
Enhance your defense with built-in security
The Grid comes with security built into its architecture with encryption in all communications among network devices, applications and services. This design:
- Protects against DDoS attacks and minimizes attack surfaces to prevent exposure of vulnerabilities
- Ensures data privacy and authenticity using certificate-based authentication and SSL
- Secures all data, including DNS zone data, during replication
Elevate management performance and efficiency
Centralize maintenance of extensive, geographically distributed devices. Simplify network management by automating tasks such as code updates and delegating permissions to different users.
- Improve response times by enabling applications and devices to connect directly to core network services
- Track the health of various systems
- Ensure security, compliance and auditability with extensive monitoring and historical reporting capabilities
Integrate with ease
The Infoblox Grid can be deployed as a physical, virtual or cloud-based network appliance. You can:
- Implement on-premises, or as a virtual appliance, using a range of hypervisors, including KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix Acropolis KVM and VMware ESX
- Deploy in the public cloud through Amazon Web Services (AWS) as an Amazon Machine Image
- Easily integrate with other systems to simplify and automate diverse IT processes through its assortment of RESTful APIs
Enable always on network services
Increase service uptime with the Grid, which automatically distributes and consolidates critical information and services in real time with assured data integrity, including:
- Protocols (e.g., DNS, DHCP, FTP and NTP)
- Data (e.g., IPAM, Mac addresses and user credentials)
- Files (e.g., firmware images, configuration files and policies)
Enjoy flexible licensing
Flexible licensing and pricing mean you can purchase a license with our standard support options or an annual subscription that includes support and upgrades. Infoblox’s flexible licensing gives you:
- Simple migration paths to virtual and cloud architectures
- Budget flexibility to easily align your procurement needs with your business imperatives
- Options to upgrade appliances—physical or virtual—in their own virtualized environment (like VMware and OpenStack) or in the public cloud (like AWS and Azure)
