The explosion of IP addresses and the rapid transitions to IPv6, virtualization and the cloud have put extreme pressure on IT team. Delivering network services that are automated, scalable and always on requires integrated, highly scalable, fault tolerant, 24x7 available DNS, DHCP and IP address management.
Infoblox Trinzic DDI is the world’s leading appliance-based, integrated DNS, DHCP and IP address management product. Trinzic DDI employs state-of-the-art IP address management and automated error-checking technologies, seamlessly integrated with Microsoft DNS/DHCP servers. It supports the Infoblox Grid™ architecture, which enables the most advanced, highly available, fault tolerant and scalable DDI solution in the world. With Trinzic DDI you can leverage your existing investments in Microsoft, while simultaneously incorporating collaborative IP address management and ensuring 99.999% network services uptime.
Trinzic DDI gives you a “single pane of glass”, real time view into your network services, giving you the ability to make decisions about issues as they happen.
The Trinzic DDI security suite offers secure, role-based administration and self-service components, as well as a hardened OS to prevent root access, and supports DNSSEC and security in the Infoblox appliances and their connections. As a member of CERT, Infoblox has advance notice of new threats and issues updates and security patches for immediate response to any new vulnerability.
Trinzic DDI delivers massive scalability to manage the proliferation of IP-based devices, web-based apps and the explosion of IPv6 addresses. Trinzic DDI ensures network reliability and 24x7 operations, and with the Infoblox Grid, provides resilient network services, failover, recovery and seamless maintenance. The Infoblox Grid removes single points of failure and other operational risks inherent in legacy DNS, DHCP and IP address management infrastructure with a distributed relationship between individual or paired appliances, inside a single building, across a networked campus or across geographical locations.
Adding Infoblox Multi-Grid Management technology to Trinzic DDI enables the centralized management of multiple Grids, scalable to thousands of hosts, and includes visual representation of both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Trinzic DDI includes full support for IPv6 and related protocols, such as DHCP64 and NAT64, to enable a smooth transition to the next generation IP networking. Fully functional IPv6 services and management are part of the Trinzic DDI solution, as are services and management for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6.
Trinzic DDI supports the transition from physical to virtual environments through its ability to identify the IP addresses of virtual machines, the location and state of virtual switches and other related transitional information to help bridge the gap between the two environments.
Trinzic DDI allows for central management of both Infoblox appliances and Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers without agent software on clients or servers. The solution uses native Microsoft RPC APIs to interface with Microsoft DNS and DHCP services, and automatically synchronizes all changes made by either Microsoft or Infoblox tool sets.
Trinzic DDI simplifies the management of your network through built-in automation tasks. Select the Task Board as your home page and easily perform common network services and network infrastructure and device configuration tasks with a click of a button. Examples of network services tasks include adding networks and host records, fixing addresses including the CNAME record, TXT record, and MX record. Examples of network infrastructure and device configuration tasks include the ability to enable/disable a port, move VLANs or create networks in a matter of minutes, not hours or days. You can even discover rogue DHCP servers or install and have bare metal devices automatically be provisioned. Combined, the built-in automation tasks increase your team’s efficiency, reduce errors, and provide you with a more agile IT infrastructure.
