Infoblox solutions rely upon two core underlying technologies: the embedded Infoblox NIOS software and our patented Grid technology.

Infoblox NIOS™ software, running on Infoblox appliances, delivers nonstop core network services—including DNS, DHCP, IPAM, RADIUS, TFTP, NTP and others—that are critical to the operation of all IP-based networks. Appliance delivery of these services has become a recommended industry best practice for any size organization, because appliances are inherently more reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure than software on general-purpose servers. For large organizations, distributed Infoblox appliances can be connected into unified grids that provide unparalleled management, control, visibility, and service resiliency.

Infoblox grid technology links a collection of appliances into a unified, centrally-managed, core network services platform. At the grid’s foundation is a distributed database called bloxSDB™ with real-time data replication across all Infoblox member appliances. This essential infrastructure allows organizations to distribute, automate and consolidate critical information and services with assured data integrity an unparalleled manageability.
