You Can't Manage What You Can't See: Infoblox Network Insight Delivers New Levels of Visibility and ProductivitySANTA CLARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Infoblox (News - Alert) Inc. (NYSE:BLOX), the network control company, today announced enhancements to Infoblox Network Insight, a solution that brings previously disparate real-time network infrastructure data into a single authoritative database, to help make enterprise networks easier to manage and more secure. Until now, network data has existed in multiple silos managed by various teams. One silo tracks network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers, often on outdated spreadsheets. Another silo has information on connected endpoint devices such as PCs, smart phones, and tablets. Yet another silo tracks configuration of the Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and IP address allocations and history. Blocked by these silos, networking teams do not have a shared, big-picture view into what is happening across the network and cannot effectively respond to network issues in real time. Network management tasks therefore take longer and require error-prone manual processes-which increase cost, complexity, and risk. Infoblox Network Insight (www.infoblox.com/networkinsight), introduced in January 2014, brings these silos together in a single authoritative IP address management (IPAM) database. This database empowers network engineers to automatically gather a broad range of information, analyze it, and in the latest version, take action in real time through a single point of control. Infoblox Network Insight delivers an unprecedented range of capabilities, including:
"Enterprise networks today are full of blind spots that slow down day-to-day work and increase operating expenses," said Scott Fulton, executive vice president of products at Infoblox. "One network manager told us it is sometimes easier for him to buy a new switch than figure out what ports are available on current switches. Another manager described days of work by multiple teams to fix network outages in multiple branch offices, which turned out to be caused by a well-intentioned employee who had installed a home router without permission. These examples show the benefit of Infoblox Network Insight in overcoming the lack of visibility that prevents IT teams from fully controlling and securing their networks." Pricing and Availability Infoblox Network Insight is available now worldwide. Pricing information is available from Infoblox sales representatives and channel partners.
