Spain's Fourth Largest Banking Group, Banc Sabadell, Deploys Infoblox Appliances for Delivery of Core Network Services
| Source: Infoblox
SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - September 15, 2008) - Infoblox, Inc. today announced that Banc
Sabadell has deployed Infoblox appliances for delivery of core network
services, including internal and external domain name resolution (DNS) and
IP address assignment (DHCP), as well as configuration file distribution
services (TFTP/HTTP) that specifically support the bank's new voice over IP
(VoIP) application.
Banc Sabadell is comprised of several different banks, brands, subsidiaries
and part-owned companies and is Spain's fourth largest banking group. Core
network services play an essential role in the bank's network
infrastructure that services its thousands of customers online and from its
many branch offices. Unfortunately, its previous, conventional solution
lacked important security, reliability and manageability capabilities to
meet the bank's growing demands.
The hardened, purpose-built Infoblox appliances with the DNSone package and
unique grid technology provide the security, features and stability the
bank required.
"Security and manageability were critical factors in our decision to
migrate to an appliance-based solution," said Joan Reig, Infrastructure
Management Director at Banc Sabadell. "We love Infoblox's grid technology
for easy management, deployment and maintenance. Automatic provisioning of
updated code and security of the purpose-built systems are essential
features in our banking environment. With thousands of customers relying
on our network for their daily banking transactions, equally important is
reliability and the Infoblox appliances have maintained 100 percent uptime
for us."
Banc Sabadell has deployed multiple Infoblox-550 and -1550 appliances in
high availability pairs serving its regional branch offices throughout
Spain.
Infoblox appliances deliver nonstop internal and external DNS and DHCP
services for the Banc Sabadell network. The Infoblox appliances are linked
together by Infoblox's unique grid technology that allows multiple Infoblox
appliances to be operated as a unified system for management and resiliency
advantages.
In addition to supporting all essential applications on the Banc Sabadell
network, such as email, Web access, CRM applications and more, Infoblox
appliances support the bank's new VoIP application with "dial-tone" like
reliability for IP address assignment to the handsets. Further,
integrated TFTP functionality allows Bank Sabadell to easily and quickly
distribute new firmware files to the VoIP handsets.
