DNSone/DNSone with Grid Package

The DNSone package delivers reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure core network services at a lower cost and with higher security than server-software and with greater network availability than any competing solution. The services included in the DNSone package include:
 

·          Naming services via Domain Name System (DNS);

·          Addressing services via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP);

·          Network visibility and control via IP address management (IPAM);

·          Authentication, authorization, and accounting services via RADIUS Proxy;

·          File delivery services via Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP);

·          Time synchronization services via Network Time Protocol (NTP)

 

The DNSone with Grid package also includes the grid upgrade which provides patented Infoblox technology for linking distributed appliances into a unified Infoblox grid. The embedded databases in all Infoblox appliances within an Infoblox grid are intelligently interconnected so that they share a common, real-time view of host names, IP leases, and other network services data. The grid uses secure communication among appliances and also uses sophisticated database technology to maintain data integrity. This ensures that all appliances in the grid have the right data and that the grid continues to deliver services without data loss or corruption in the face of a wide range of device or WAN failures. Infoblox grid technology also supports intelligent data replication to minimize the use of bandwidth in the grid and to enable “rightsized” appliances to be deployed at each location.

Network Services for Authentication

The Infoblox Network Services for Authentication (NSA) package provides reliable and highly available authentication services for network devices and users. By merging standards-based RADIUS authentication services with Infoblox grid technology, extended enterprises now have the ability to distribute reliable, secure, non-stop authentication services throughout their organisations easily using Infoblox appliances.

Network Services for VitalQIP 

The Infoblox Network Services for Alcatel-Lucent VitalQIP Software package (NSQ) combines Infoblox’s network appliance and distributed grid management technologies with Alcatel-Lucent’s award-winning VitalQIP® IP address management software. The joint solution yields scalability, management, security, and cost-reduction advantages.

In order to ensure high availability and performance for domain name system (DNS) and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) services, most organizations distribute these critical services across multiple sites using software deployed on a collection of general-purpose hardware platforms and operating systems. Installing, securing, managing, and updating these distributed servers places a significant burden on IT staff and increases the operational costs for delivering DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services.

Network Services for VoIP Package

As organizations replace traditional telephony architectures with IP networks, they face new challenges to meet or exceed traditional telephony service levels while realizing cost savings from consolidating their voice and data networks. Network infrastructures are often upgraded with the latest technologies for quality of service (QoS), fault tolerance, and management as part of a VoIP deployment. However, several other considerations are often overlooked, such as ensuring the availability of IP addresses and managing the distribution of IP phone firmware and configuration files. The systems that deliver these critical services are often the responsibility of the end user, and deficiencies can cause significant deployment delays and increased
operational overhead.

Network Services Suite

Underlying every network is a set of core network services that contribute to the reliability, availability, security and operational efficiency of all networks and applications. This set of essential services includes naming, addressing, authentication, file distribution and logging. Today's organisations need an infrastructure that integrates, distributes and manages these core network services throughout an extended enterprise.
