Business Benefits
●
Increased performance at the branch office: Enterprise branch offices get the performance
benefits of local delivery of core network services with exceptional resiliency for DNS,
DHCP, and more, along with powerful IPAM and centralized monitoring and control.
●
Minimized operational costs: Customers can consolidate management of branch-office
networks with centralized management, extensive automation, improved visibility with real-
time updates of network status, IP address additions and changes, and more. Customers
will see a reduction in labor and costs due to centralized management and industry-leading
IPAM with extensive automation functions, and server costs with consolidation of
equipment.
●
Enablement of dynamic and resilient branch-office networks: Infoblox failover and disaster-
recovery features for core network services with the Cisco integrated services router provide
local survivability of core network services during WAN outages, allowing optimal
productivity at the branch office to achieve exceptional flexibility, control, and availability.
●
Green solution that saves space and power at remote offices: You can save rack space and
power by installing Infoblox vNIOS software on blades in Cisco integrated services routers.
Figure 4 shows an example of the benefits of Infoblox vNIOS and Cisco AXP based on an initial
investment of $100,000. The implementation can result in net savings of close to $500,000 over a
period of three years.
