Teneo partner Infoblox acquires Netcordia to advance Network Infrastructure Automation Solutions portfolio
Published on: 04 May 2010
Infoblox Inc., the leading provider of real-time DNS, DHCP and
IPAM (DDI) network infrastructure solutions, has acquired Netcordia, the
leading independent provider of Network Change and Configuration
Management (NCCM) solutions. Both companies are Teneo partners, with
products such as Netcordia’s award-winning NetMRI and Infoblox’s IPAM
and PortIQ, already an integral part of Teneo’s Management Solutions
portfolio. This makes Teneo ideally placed to offer its customers an
integrated approach to network infrastructure automation.
News of the acquisition comes as Teneo is seeing organisations face
increased challenges associated with network management as more devices
are being added to the network than ever before. Virtualised
environments, new applications, technologies such as VoIP, increased
numbers of remote workers and new compliance regulations are adding
complexities to IT operations. This, combined with a need for real-time
changes to the network, but without the staff bandwidth or necessary
tools to meet 24x7 uptime demands and SLAs, indicates that integration
and coordination of NCCM and DDI technologies will become essential to
network managers.
Infoblox pioneered the first integrated DNS, DHCP and IPAM appliance and
is the only vendor given the highest “Strong Positive” rating in the
recently published Gartner MarketScope for DDI. Both Infoblox and
Netcordia’s solutions automate manual and error-prone network tasks that
are essential to maintaining network connectivity. The acquisition now
gives customers greater network control and unmatched network
infrastructure intelligence capabilities that improve network
reliability and predictability, staff productivity, and reduce costs
while providing uptime for physical and virtualised environments and
supporting new initiatives such as cloud computing.
Don Pyle, CEO of Netcordia, commented that the acquisition launches “a
new era of network infrastructure automation, dramatically increasing
the flexibility and availability required to address the demands of new
enterprise initiatives and the ever-increasing size and complexity of
today’s networks."
Jon Oltsik, senior analyst Enterprise Strategy Group, commented: "With
the increasing number of IP-enabled devices, mobility and network
management requirements colliding in the data centre, real visibility,
control and change management is critical for network pros. The combined
expertise and technologies of Infoblox and Netcordia present a unique
opportunity to help address some of these issues."
