Core IT functions such as e-mail, web browsing, Voice over Internet Protocol, wireless, and virtually all IP applications rely on stable, robust DHCP and DNS services.
Infoblox solutions provide easily managed, enterprise-class DHCP appliances that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructures.
Despite the fact that corporate DHCP / DNS services are critical, most networking professionals agree that they receive little attention and with businesses becoming increasingly dependent on network data access this negligence is no longer tolerable. View our White Paper DNS/DHCP: Why Users Prefer Appliances to learn more.
In addition to improving security, reliability and availability of data, offloading DHCP and DNS services also simplifies manageability and reduces operating costs, view:
