Core network services (like DNS, DNSSEC, DHCP, IPAM, etc.) are the foundation of all IP-based applications, including new security initiatives, convergence applications like VoIP, and growing compliance reporting requirements. Today’s core network services tend to reside on vulnerable, general-purpose operating systems and servers, managed by disparate entities each with their own manual processes throughout an organization. This makes services difficult to update, manage, and secure both at the local level and system-wide.

Infoblox NIOS™ software is at the heart of Infoblox solutions. NIOS on Infoblox’s high-performance appliances overcome the service delivery problems and management deficiencies of current solutions, providing reliable, scalable, and secure core network services. Infoblox manages the IPAM data as well as the DNS and DHCP server configurations using a distributed, real-time database to preventing data inconsistencies. Infoblox can also consolidate your servers and eliminate layers of complex, error-prone network tasks that drive up your costs and jeopardize availability of your network. With Infoblox, you can reduce the capital and operating costs of your network by up to 50%, while boosting availability and application performance.
