August 28, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Network appliance developer Infoblox (infoblox.com) announced on Monday that it has acquired Ipanto (ipanto.com), a privately held company based in France that develops enterprise software for highly efficient IP address management, especially in Microsoft environments.

This acquisition underscores Infoblox's strategy to deliver a portfolio of solutions designed to help enterprises effectively deliver and manage utility-grade core network services, such as domain name resolution, IP address assignment and management, authentication and authorization, configuration and network time. The acquisition also enables Infoblox to bring immediate value to enterprise customers currently relying on Microsoft systems, like Microsoft active directory servers or domain controllers for their DNS and DHCP services, says the company.

"The Ipanto team has created a great product and has garnered an impressive list of global customers," says Robert Thomas, CEO of Infoblox. "Adding their innovative technology to the Infoblox portfolio provides enterprise customers with an option that lets them realize greater IPAM efficiency while preserving current investments in Microsoft core network services infrastructure. This also provides a logical stepping stone towards a next-generation, fully integrated Infoblox infrastructure."

Infoblox recently began offering a new appliance, the Infoblox-250, designed for branch/remote office sites.
