Integrated solution enables IT organizations to reduce capital expense, operating costs, and network complexity
Infoblox launched DNS Traffic Control, the first solution to add global server load balancing to enterprise-grade DNS appliances—enabling customers to use a single appliance to provide critical DNS network services while leveraging DNS to optimize network performance by intelligently directing traffic to appropriate servers.
Global server load balancing (GSLB) is technology that monitors network traffic moving into and through organizations, then routes that traffic to servers and data centers that are best-positioned to respond. GSLBcan significantly enhance network response times and availability by distributing traffic among different servers based on server load, server health, and geographical proximity to the user.
Infoblox DNS Traffic Control is available now as a fully-integrated software option to the Infoblox DDI product line, providing integrated DNS-based traffic control, unified management, one less box in the datacenter, disaster recovery, troubleshooting and optimization.
In short, this integrated solution enables IT organizations to reduce capital expense, operating costs, and network complexity. “Because we’re the leading provider of enterprise-grade DDI solutions, adding DNS-based traffic control is a natural next step for Infoblox in making networks easier and less expensive to manage and protect,” said Arya Barirani, vice president of product marketing at Infoblox.“Infoblox customers can now run their critical DNS services and DNS-based traffic management from one console, saving money and reducing management overhead.”
