📅 - Network identity infrastructure systems developer Infoblox Inc. (infoblox.com) announced on Tuesday that Florida local government body, Leon County, has selected and deployed Infoblox network identity appliances to improve reliability, security, manageability and overall availability of its network. Leon County initially delivered domain name services to its countywide network of 70 servers and 1,750 users, via Sun servers using an old version of the Solaris operating system. The County had to manually manipulate the files to manage the system, which limited scalability, consumed resources and produced reliability issues.
After replacing its system with Infoblox DNSone network identity appliances, Leon County IT Systems has experienced a significant improvement in network availability, operational efficiency and security. "The reliability improvements alone justified the solution change. Before we installed the Infoblox solution, users often complained of DNS-related issues as much as two or three times a day," says Michelle French, IT systems coordinator of Leon County. "Since deploying the Infoblox products, we haven't received a single DNS-related user complaint."
