Critical Services For VoIP

The Infoblox Network Services for VoIP package, deployed on Infoblox appliances, provides a simple, manageable, and highly available solution that can help network and telephony administrators achieve the reliability and service levels experienced with legacy telephony environments—with dramatically less effort. Delivering critical IP telephony services such as DHCP, TFTP/FTP/HTTP, NTP, IP address management and troubleshooting tools on purpose-built network appliances linked into a unified Infoblox grid, the Infoblox solution increases the overall reliability and manageability of any VoIP implementation.

Infoblox Grid Technology Reduces Management Overhead

Infoblox’s grid technology creates a centrally managed and highly available environment that reduces the total cost of ownership of any VoIP rollout. Infoblox grid technology links appliances at central and remote offices into a unified, distributed system that is resilient to network and equipment failures and assures continuous uptime. This provides a way to manage IP addresses and to distribute IP phone firmware and configuration files across distributed VoIP environments. The grid also provides a single integration point for linking to authentication stores in Active Directory or other LDAP user and policy stores.

Efficient Configuration File Management

Managing VoIP phone firmware and configuration files can be a challenge in large-scale distributed environments, especially across WAN links. Infoblox solves this problem by distributing VoIP IP phone files across the grid. IP phone software updates and configurations are automatically distributed among the grid member appliances for download to local phones via the local LAN, saving expensive WAN bandwidth. Each grid member supports TFTP, FTP and HTTP file download to support virtually all IP phones from all manufacturers. Regardless of your choice of IP telephony vendor, Infoblox provides a comprehensive and
cost-saving solution.

High-availability Services and Local Survivability

The Network Services for VoIP package runs on the purpose-built Infoblox appliance platforms, which are designed for nonstop operation in high-performance networks, using industry-standard Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for sub 5-second network failover. Further, Infoblox grid technology ensures uptime at remote offices, even when WAN connection is lost or central office networking devices are down for maintenance.

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.
