The company’s solution combines real-time Internet Protocol (IP) address management with the automation of key network control and network change and configuration management processes in purpose-built physical and virtual appliances. It is based on proprietary software that is highly scalable and automates vital network functions, such as IP address management, device configuration, compliance, network discovery, policy implementation, security and monitoring. In addition, its solution leverages its real-time distributed network database to provide ‘always-on’ access to network control data through a scalable, redundant and reliable architecture. Products The company offers a solution that combines real-time IP address management with the automation of key network control and network change and configuration management processes through a range of purpose-built physical and virtual appliances that are integrated with its proprietary software and provide varying levels of performance targeted to meet specific end customer needs. Its appliances can be deployed on a stand-alone basis or in combinations utilizing its Grid architecture across various network environments. The company’s virtual appliances either are integrated within Cisco UCS Express and Riverbed Steelhead products or operate in VMware virtual environments, and are designed to approximate their physical counterparts in functionality, scalability and performance. The company offers two families of products: Trinzic DDI and NetMRI. Trinzic DDI Family The components of Trinzic DDI family, which can be purchased independently, are Trinzic DDI, Trinzic IPAM (IP address management) for Microsoft, Trinzic Reporting, and Load Balancer Manager. Trinzic DDI: The Trinzic DDI product is a secure, real-time appliance that is designed to ensure the continuous operation of network control. Trinzic DDI leverages its proprietary software, which automates the routine, repetitive and time-consuming manual tasks associated with deploying and managing DNS, DHCP and IP address management and thus facilitates continuous and dynamic network availability for mission-critical business processes. A Trinzic DDI appliance can be used in a standalone configuration or combined with other appliances using its Grid technology to view and manage through a Web-based management interface complex networks consisting of thousands of Trinzic appliances and millions of IP addresses. Trinzic IPAM for Microsoft: Trinzic IPAM for Microsoft provides a single, Web-based management interface for the centralized management of Microsoft DNS, DHCP and multiple IP address pools without any installation of software on Microsoft servers. When implemented together with its Trinzic DDI product, Trinzic IPAM for Microsoft permits network-wide management of Infoblox DNS, DHCP and IPAM servers and Microsoft servers from a single point of control. Trinzic Reporting: Trinzic Reporting may be sold with its Trinzic DDI product at the time of initial deployment or thereafter and leverages Grid. Trinzic Reporting is sold as an appliance and provides long-term reporting, trending, analysis and tracking capabilities to report network utilization, isolate performance problems, implement DHCP and DNS capacity planning and identify security threats. Trinzic Reporting automates time-consuming manual tasks associated with collecting, tabulating and correlating data through its single point of control. Load Balancer Manager: The Load Balancer Manager with Trinzic DDI enables organizations to manage all aspects of their DNS infrastructure centrally from a single point of control using automated tools that make network administrators performing global load balancer tasks more efficient, and conform to the organization's existing DNS structure and policies. The Load Balancer Manager is sold to existing Trinzic DDI customers that have the F5 Big IP Global Traffic Mana
