Additional Benefits Include
High-availability Services: The NS1 with Grid package runs on the reliable Infoblox
appliance platform, which is designed for nonstop operation in high-performance
networks. High-availability (HA) services are supported by bloxHA™ technology—
which uses industry-standard Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for sub
5-second network failover—and bloxSYNC™ technology to ensure real-time database
synchronization with no loss or duplication of data.

Integrated, Zero-admin Database: The NS1 with Grid package stores all DNS and DHCP
data in the integrated bloxSDB™ database, which is built into the Infoblox NIOS™
operating system software provided on all Infoblox appliances. The bloxSDB database
is designed specifically to support integrated core network services and provides
unmatched consistency between service and management views of IP-address-centric
network services data without compromising performance.

Integrated Web GUI: The Infoblox Web GUI allows administrators to deploy and manage
the entire DNS, DHCP and IPAM infrastructure with just a few mouse clicks. The
powerful, Web-based Infoblox GUI is the only solution that manages all aspects of the
infrastructure and data—including software updates and upgrades, backup and restore,
disaster recovery and all services and data management—without resorting to client
based or command-line interfaces. The Infoblox Web UI manages all aspects of the
product including DNS, DNSSEC, DHCP, IPAM and Grid management, monitoring and
reporting. Wizards and visual tools are available to make configuration and monitoring
error-free.

Integrated Management: The NS1 with Grid package provides practical operational
efficiencies that lower total cost of ownership. For example, creating a DHCP range
automatically creates an associated DNS record, reducing the number of tasks required
of network administrators.

Granular, Role-based Administration: Role-based administration is a powerful way
to ensure that administrators are only given access to view and modify specific core
network services attributes consistent with their organizational and functional role. For
example, this means that a senior DNS administrator could have the ability to define
new domains and add new appliances to a Grid, while a help desk administrator might
only have the ability to view specific subnets and issue IP addresses to new devices by
picking from a pre-defined list. Infoblox has created a very scalable, yet very granular
role-based administration framework. The framework provides customers the ability
to delegate administration down to the object level and yet maintain permissions for a
large, complex administration model. Some specifics include:
