Infoblox and Service Providers
For wireline and wireless service providers, delivering profitable, business-grade broadband internet service on a large scale has become a significant challenge. While price points typically erode rapidly and new service offerings quickly become commoditized, customer expectations for reliability and availability nonetheless continue to rise. Competition among providers leaves little room for error, the slightest hint of which can send customers packing in droves. All these factors place a constant pressure on operating margins. Infoblox helps service providers contain their operating costs by automating routine IT and network administrative tasks, Infoblox solutions stabilize many of the core IP network infrastructure functions that can contribute to network and service instability—which cost money while negatively impacting reputation and customer satisfaction.
Three Infoblox solutions have demonstrable positive effects on the services that ISPs and MSPs deliver to their customers:
High-Performance DNS Caching for ISPs
Over 100 ISPs around the world use Infoblox today to offer DNS to their customers as part of their service infrastructure. Infoblox automates much of the day-to-day administration of generic servers running open source software, and eliminates significant workload in manual scripting and patching. Infoblox also provides an automated High-Availability/Disaster Recovery solution, which is otherwise extremely difficult to implement and manage.

Robust DHCP for 3G Wi-Fi Offload
As 3G wireless networks proliferate, the growth in multimedia traffic to and from smartphones is a growing major challenge for mobile operators. Many providers are turning to low-cost Wi-Fi or WiMax services as a way to offload data traffic and avoid capital-intensive infrastructure buildout. Infoblox provides an off-the-shelf robust DHCP solution that can help speed deployment, accommodate high DHCP volumes and reduce cost of ownership over traditional solutions.

Managed Services for DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management
As networks become increasingly integral to enterprise customers’ success, the long-neglected core services that drive the network infrastructure—DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management (IPAM)—have become mission critical. The advent of virtualization and IPv6 have rendered the manual use of spreadsheets to manage IP addresses obsolete and error-prone. Today’s customers need an automated and scalable IPAM solution with support for dual stack IPv4/IPv6 operation. Service providers now have an opportunity to meet this customer need using Infoblox DNS/DHCP servers and IP Address Management, delivered as a managed service and capturing customer opex budgets at a time when capital spending is restricted. By working with Infoblox, Managed Service Providers can rapidly define, build and launch managed services to meet this nascent market need, capture new revenue streams, and differentiate themselves from competitors and traditional outsourcers.
