Infoblox Automates Network Services for the Cloud
With the Industry's Widest Range of Supported
Platforms
Infoblox DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI) now integrates with private cloud platforms from
VMware, Microsoft, HP, Cisco, BMC, CA and ElasticBox
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infoblox Inc. (NYSE:BLOX), the automated network control company, is
automating network services for the cloud with the industry's widest range of supported platforms. Infoblox solutions
for managing DNS, DHCP and IP addresses – a category known as DDI – now integrate with private cloud platforms
from seven enterprise providers – VMware, Microsoft, HP, Cisco, BMC, CA and ElasticBox – giving customers more
choices than any other supplier of enterprise-grade DDI.
“By integrating with so many cloud platforms, Infoblox is providing a universal tool belt for our clients to get the best
possible return from their investment in private cloud architecture.”
Private clouds are rapidly gaining traction because they enable agile and scalable delivery of IT services. As part of
this, organizations with private clouds must be able to quickly add and remove applications and services; easily shift
workloads across physical sites; run workloads in multi-tenant architectures and make the underlying networks
resilient to failures. While many of these processes are heavily automated today from a server and storage
perspective, network services are still largely managed manually, complicating and slowing down private cloud
operations.
Infoblox DDI automates network services for private cloud deployments by providing:

Network services without needless delay. Virtual machines (VMs), the building blocks of a private cloud,
can be provisioned with IP addresses and DNS records in minutes, instead of the hours or days that manual
processes can require. These IP addresses can be recovered and reused, and DNS records cleaned up
automatically, when VMs are retired.
A clear view through the fog. The Infoblox DDI interface, available through a web browser, gives a unified
view of physical, virtual and cloud networks across multiple locations, making it easy to confirm that
networks are compliant with their intended design.
Room to grow. Infoblox DDI appliances, either physical or virtual, can be quickly added to networks as
needed while maintaining a single point of control across multiple sites.
A good night's sleep. No more calls at three in the morning to fix network outages. Automated tracking of
IP addresses and DNS records eliminates IP address conflicts and DNS data entry errors – significantly
reducing the risk of downtime.
In short, Infoblox enterprise-grade DDI helps enable networking teams to achieve the full potential of private cloud
deployments by configuring and managing networks that are agile, scalable and reliable.
“Network control is crucial for building and managing successful private clouds,” said Mike Thompson, president and
chief executive officer of Groupware Technology, an IT solution provider based in Campbell, Calif. “By integrating
with so many cloud platforms, Infoblox is providing a universal tool belt for our clients to get the best possible return
from their investment in private cloud architecture.”
“The trend lines are very clear: IT workloads are shifting to private clouds and these clouds require automation in the
network layer. Infoblox is helping to meet this growing need by integrating with more cloud platforms than any other
provider of commercial-grade DDI,” said David Gee, executive vice president of marketing at Infoblox. “Going
forward, our goal is to continue to broaden the Infoblox portfolio of private cloud integrations in response to customer
demand.”
