As I mentioned at 3 Major Barriers to Cloud, the transition from tech services silos to unified cloud computing fabrics will trigger rapid growth and integration in network monitoring and dns appliance solutions.  Integrated, automated, IP address management will be consolidated into Grids with DNS and DHCP and network monitoring solutions to deliver integrated views and management of critical network resources.

 

Cloud will place more demands on the network and drive enhanced business cases for network automation and network management.

 

Infoblox just announced its PortIQ appliance, which can be integrated with its IPAM software.  You can check it out at Interop next week, booth 1867.
