Infoblox PortIQ Automates Management of Network
SANTA CLARA, CA–(April 20, 2009) – Infoblox Inc. today announced availability of the new Infoblox PortIQ appliance, which provides visibility into switch port usage — essential for network capacity planning, security investigations, and ease of troubleshooting.
Many enterprises today lack visibility into the utilization of their switch ports, including which are in use, which are available, which devices are connected (or were connected) to each port, and more. This lack of real-time and historical visibility results in unnecessary capital purchases, troubleshooting difficulties, and challenges dealing with security incidents — such as finding and eliminating infected devices on the network.
With the Infoblox PortIQ appliance, network administrators can easily identify the physical port associated with every connected device and get reports on network port utilization. This enables IT departments to get more from their existing assets and make more intelligent switch purchase decisions, saving capital expenses. Additionally, the ability to quickly locate where devices are connected increases security and eases troubleshooting efforts, saving operational costs.
New Infoblox PortIQ Appliance Provides Fast and Accurate Intelligence
The Infoblox PortIQ appliance replaces time consuming and unreliable manual procedures by automatically tracking where devices connect to your network. The Infoblox PortIQ appliance quickly collates and displays information to provide comprehensive insight into what is connected to your network and where. This insight enables network managers to make informed business decisions and reduce operational overhead and port wastage, while enhancing network security.
The Infoblox PortIQ appliance can be operated as a standalone system used to inventory routers and switches, gather port utilization data and provide detailed, easily customized reports on ports in use, activity level and other data. The PortIQ appliance makes it easy to find unused capacity, spot trends, reserve ports for specific projects, detect unauthorized network use, and determine which devices will be impacted by a planned switch upgrade…
