Network Security White Papers

Infoblox Case Study: Pelco

Overview Pelco previously relied on Microsoft Active Directory and Windows servers/domain controllers deployed throughout its highly distributed network to deliver the essential Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and IP Address Management (IPAM) services. However, slow response times for Active Directory, fault-tolerance shortcomings, security vulnerabilities and overly cumbersome and frequent upgrade requirements burdened Pelco's already stretched IT staff and compromised network availability. Pelco set out to identify a new solution for delivering essential DNS, DHCP and IPAM network identity services. Pelco selected and deployed Infoblox appliances, which are purpose-built devices designed to provide the foundation for Identity-Driven Networks (IDNs).
