Strategic Implementations

Overview

Our customers report that they have strategic objectives for their networking infrastructure. This section discusses the top strategic objectives that include Infoblox Professional Services as a critical component.

Options

Virtualization

Virtualization is sweeping the IT industry with proven and popular capabilities and benefits. However, much of the benefits are not realizable without improved integration and interoperation at the network level. Infoblox Professional Services can leverage our Technology Uplift services to uplevel your network’s capabilities:

  • VMware automation: Automatically provide VMs with network resources such as IP addresses
  • vMotion integration: Ensure that devices and storage are correctly addressed statically and in-motion
  • Virtualization administration: Match virtualization administration to network administration

Unified Communications and Applications

An astounding array of Smartphones, Pad devices, set-tops, and portable computers are providing new and exciting ways to interact more often, more deeply, and in new ways with your customer base. The fundamental building block in enabling these devices and applications to interoperate with your systems is an IPv6-based infrastructure—from network to applications. Infoblox Professional Services can leverage our IPv6 Implementation approaches to help ensure that this rewarding, but complex, conversion can be accomplished:

  • Application enablement: Many applications, especially mobile, are IPv6-only
  • Device enablement: Newer devices (such as pads and set-tops) will drive IPv6 migration
  • Interoperation: Implement new IPv6 addresses with existing IPv4 addresses seamlessly

Real-time Responsiveness

Given competitive market conditions, customers want to make their business more agile, more portable, and more manageable. Infoblox Professional Services can leverage our Active DDI approaches to help in a variety of ways, including:

  • DDI Consolidation: Consolidate to a single view for IPAM to improve responsiveness to network change needs
  • DDI Automation/Discovery: Take an automated approach to ensuring network integrity
  • Full-scope IPAM: Provide addressing schemes that are fully redundant and support automated failover
