Infoblox products work together to give operators of mission-critical networks automated methods of configuring, managing and securing their infrastructures so that the loss of a core IP service never results in business downtime. No matter how small or large the network.

At the heart of the Infoblox solution is the Infoblox NIOS™ software platform for delivering secure name services, IP address management, file transfer and other core network services. Our NetMRI Network Configuration and Change Management (NCCM) product line ensures business uptime by giving you control of network change, configurations, compliance, policy, health and network stability. Both NIOS and NetMRI run on security-hardened Infoblox appliance platforms, and virtualized versions are also available for a variety of third-party platforms.

Together, NIOS, NetMRI, and other Infoblox products give network operators high levels of visibility into their infrastructures to automate and simplify the following:

• IP Address Management
• Port capacity planning and security
• Security audits for compliance with governance mandates and internal policies
• Troubleshooting
• Network configuration and change management

Infoblox customers can expect up to an 80% increase in network availability and up to a 50% reduction in network capital and operational expenses. These improvements are why the world’s 12 largest banks, three of the largest retailers and six of the largest manufacturers, and 200 of the Fortune 500 run their networks on Infoblox.

NIOS -  Integrated DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management

Infoblox NIOS™ is a security-hardened, real-time set of appliances built to ensure the non-stop operation of your network infrastructure. NIOS automates the error-prone and time-consuming manual tasks associated with deploying and managing DNS, DHCP and IP address management required for continuous IP network availability and business uptime:

• Naming services via Domain Name System (DNS)
• Addressing services via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• IP address management (IPAM)
• File delivery services via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
• Time synchronization services via Network Time Protocol (NTP)
• Logging services via Syslog

NIOS runs on Infoblox hardware appliances and also as virtual appliance software (called vNIOS) for VMware ESX+, Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR), and Riverbed Steelhead WAN optimization platforms.
