Manufacturing

Keeping the End-to-End Flow Going

With disparate plants, suppliers, distributors, retail outlets and customers, manufacturers face many challenges to keep their supply chains intact and deliver products on schedule. A single problem in the manufacturing process can halt the entire production line or cause lengthy delays in logistics and transportation.

With increased dependence on software applications and more IP-enabled devices used across companies in the manufacturing chain, the amount of time and effort required to manage network services and infrastructure is growing exponentially. Paradoxically, even as the manufacturing process has become more automated, many IT staffs still follow legacy approaches and manual processes when dealing with IP address management and network configuration and change management.

Without network automation and control, manufacturers face:

  • Unnecessary risk of downtime with individual servers with limited and unreliable disaster recovery options
  • Higher audit costs and exposure to penalties, sanctions or fines for compliance violations including PCI
  • Burdensome requirements for local expertise and knowledge to maintain disparate assets and tools
  • Higher exposure of unintended consequences for both planned and unplanned changes
  • New risk and high vulnerability to both internal and external attacks and threats with multiple access points
  • Disparate, inconsistent network services with no centralized visibility and management
  • Additional exposure and cost with limited manual tracking and logs for compliance requirements and/or troubleshooting needs

Infoblox Manufacturing Solutions

Infoblox helps ensure agile, resilient and predictable network services for even the complex network infrastructure requirements of manufacturing organizations. The solutions increase network and application availability and performance by finding potential problems lurking within the network infrastructure, automating the manual tasks and controlling the network services within a secure, reliable and highly available solution.

Infoblox provides a single, integrated interface and hardened appliances with patented high-available Grid™ technology to reduce the risk for outages normally associated with Microsoft or Unix server platforms. The tracking and auditing for DNS, DHCP, IP address and network changes meet compliance requirements and help identify potential issues faster and easier than the traditional reactive troubleshooting approach.

Key benefits

  • Delivers high-availability and secure infrastructure with easy to deploy, high-availability appliances
  • Ensures continuous uptime with patented Grid™ technology and centralized management
  • Reduces cost and increases visibility with built-in, automated IP address management
  • Eliminates unnecessary risk of human error or misconfiguration across multi-vendor environments
  • Mitigates risks with proactive monitoring and tracking for malicious attacks or unplanned events
  • Scales to meet the most complex, distributed environments
  • Enables staff to focus on more business-impacting initiatives instead of the typical reactive, manual approach
  • Shows the impact of changes to the health and stability of the network
