| Source: Infoblox
SANTA CLARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 9, 2007 -- Infoblox Inc. today announced that the
recently published IDC report: "Worldwide IP Address Management 2007-2011
Forecast and Analysis" (March 2007), which sizes the market for DNS, DHCP
and IPAM solution, states that Infoblox is the IPAM appliance market
leader. Infoblox achieved 41 percent market share in 2006 -- nearly three
times the closest appliance competitor. Infoblox also claimed the
appliance market share leadership spot in the previous IDC market analysis
(2005).
Additionally, the report states that the overall market, which includes
hardware and software offerings, grew 44 percent in 2006, shattering growth
expectations. IDC highlights in the report several drivers fueling the
growth: "...with the increasing CFO and/or CIO focus on security weaknesses
such as NAC and on strategic investments such as VoIP or WLAN, the role of
the DNS/DHCP server and IP address management systems is becoming more
critical."
The report also emphasizes the momentum of an appliance approach to
delivering these services: "...the appliance model has had and will
continue to have a significant effect on the market. Primarily, appliances
are expanding the total potential market."
Richard Kagan, vice president of Marketing at Infoblox, comments: "The
explosive growth in 2006 indicates that the market is recognizing that
conventional solutions -- typically general purpose servers and software --
are not adequate to meet the needs of today's IP networks and applications.
This underscores the need for purpose-built appliances, like Infoblox's
core network services platforms."
Infoblox's integrated approach combines the simplicity of appliances with
the power of advanced distributed database technology to effectively
achieve availability, manageability, visibility and control unparalleled by
conventional solutions based on legacy technologies for delivering core
network services, including DNS, DHCP, IPAM, RADIUS, and more.
Further, levering unique Infoblox technology, the Infoblox appliances can
be linked into a grid to provide unique availability and management
benefits. And, built-in IP address management (IPAM) capabilities provide
essential reporting and control over IP address utilization without the
need for separate hardware or software.
