Network infrastructure is like traditional phone service—people expect it to work flawlessly all the time, and they complain immediately when it doesn’t. Successful organizations insist on total network availability for critical applications and business services, which in turn rely on the network infrastructure. If the network is not available, chaos ensues.
Since many variables can cause network availability issues, the biggest challenge for IT is deciding where to focus their limited resources. The biggest risk to network availability comes from focusing on external risks (such as virus attacks, power disruptions or environmental problems) while pushing day-to-day management aside. When IT teams invest all their energy preparing for problems that may never materialize, they tend to leave network performance management to traditional approaches: homemade scripts, freeware and a lot of manual effort. This approach can lead to problems stemming from DNS, DHCP and IP address management, and tends to lead reactive troubleshooting and wasted time and resources.
Infoblox helps organizations take control and automate the network infrastructure, so they can improve overall network availability. Even for the most complex networks, Infoblox ensures resilient, agile and predictable network performance management services. Increasing efficiency with network automation, combined with the control and knowledge of network change and behavior, greatly improves overall service availability and network uptime.
Around-the-clock, 24x7 business continuity is the new norm. Organizations today spend a great deal of time and resources on plans to deliver constant network uptime. Because of the increasing number of dynamic components in modern companies, a single unplanned or unexpected event can cripple an entire location.
Many enterprises and organizations understand the importance of disaster recovery, but don’t fully appreciate the role network services and network infrastructure play in ensuring continuity. DNS, DNSSEC, DHCP and network configurations are now the building blocks and essential glue between the network infrastructure and all IP-based applications. Any disruption in these network services can wipe out the best-laid disaster recovery plans. But instead of building resilient, secure network services, many organizations use general-purpose servers and freeware to patch together a solution.
Infoblox supports business continuity with redundant technologies and hardened appliances to keep the network infrastructure and services up and running through any disaster plan.
By leveraging unique database and Grid™ technologies on purpose-built appliance platforms, Infoblox delivers the only network services infrastructure platform designed to achieve continuous business uptime and automated, fast, easy and accurate disaster recovery.
