Net MRI hailed as the First Solution that Discovers and Manages Virtually Routed Networks in Multivendor Environments

Infoblox has further enhanced its NetMRI product that enable it to discover, track, and manage virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) of network traffic—a technology essential to next-generation data centers and multi-tenant computing. This makes NetMRI the first network automation solution that can change and configure multiple virtually routed networks in multivendor environments.

The latest version of InfobloxNetMRI enables discovery and management of both traditional and virtual network infrastructures through a single control point—even when the enterprise runs multivendor environments—allowing for detection, provisioning, and configuration of network devices, as well as ensuring security policy compliance and enforcement. This intelligent network automation can significantly reduce the time to set up and modify networks, while lowering operating expenses and human error. Infoblox has also improved security policy enforcement in NetMRI.

“Up to 80 percent of network problems today are caused by change—mistakes made when manually altering devices by setting poor configurations that cause problems later and by using inconsistent standards,” said Scott Fulton, executive vice president of products at Infoblox. “These mistakes are even harder to avoid as networks become virtualized. Our customers asked for help with challenges such as virtual routing and forwarding (VRF), and the enhancements we’re introducing today for InfobloxNetMRI are intended to meet those needs.”
