GEC NEWS WIRENetwork setup is often a choke point, hobbled by manual processes that cause delays and introduce errors.
Infoblox has revealed the report of Tolly Group’s testing which stated that automation of core network services—DNS, DHCP and IP addresses (DDI)—can reduce the deployment time for virtual machines in a VMware private cloud environment by 62 percent.
This test, conducted by Tolly engineers, measured the time required for discovering, tracking, provisioning, and destroying VMs with IP addresses and DNS records in a VMware private cloud when using manual processes in comparison to the new Infoblox Cloud Network Automation.
“Today, network configuration tasks for private cloud are labor intensive, prone to error, and ultimately don’t keep pace with other cloud automation tasks.” said Kevin Tolly, founder of Tolly Group. “Solutions such as Infoblox Cloud Network Automation close the gap to enable faster, more reliable deployment of cloud environments and overall improvement in IT agility.”
“While many organizations understand the value of network automation in private cloud deployments, it’s been a challenge to quantify the benefit,” said Arya Barirani, vice president of product marketing at Infoblox. “Tolly Group did an excellent job in conducting a set of sophisticated tests to show the time and cost impacts and how network automation is essential to private cloud and next-gen data center deployments.”
