GEC NEWS WIREAdapter bringsEnterprise-grade Network Control to OpenStack
Infoblox has introduced the Infoblox OpenStack Adapter, delivering the first open-source connector for bringing enterprise-grade network control to the OpenStack platform. The Adapter integrates the Infoblox solution for delivering critical network services such as DNS, DHCP, and IP address management—a category known as DDI—with OpenStack. Infoblox claims to be the first enterprise-grade DDI vendor to offer an open-source adapter, giving the OpenStack community the opportunity to evaluate and customize the adapter’s underlying code.
The Infoblox OpenStack Adapter brings the Infoblox DDI solution to OpenStack, including automated IP address and DNS name provisioning and reclamation, a single management console that automates network services for cloud, virtual, and physical networks—even across multiple cloud platforms, high availability and automated disaster recovery failover for core IP network services, smart folders for managing networks and tenants and support for multiple overlapping networking blueprints for DNS and DHCP.
“Infoblox is delivering a robust network automation solution for enterprises that want to leverage OpenStack to build private and hybrid clouds.” said Scott Fulton, Executive Vice President of products at Infoblox. “We look forward to sharing the adapter with our customers and those in the OpenStack community who want to bring the power of Infoblox to the exciting frontier of open-source cloud platforms.”
The Infoblox OpenStack Adapter is available now as a free download of open-source code that integrates with existing Infoblox DDI deployments and is compatible with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.
