Neustar and Infoblox partnership demonstrates rising importance of DNS, DHCP and IPAM

Neustar, Inc. (NYSE: NSR) and privately held Infoblox, Inc. announced today the formation of a strategic relationship to address the challenge of delivering and managing the core services underlying IP network infrastructures, reselling each other's products and services. The announcement shows the increasing importance of DNS, DHCP and IPAM brought by the explosion of applications, virtualization, mobile devices and network endpoints in general.

Impacts:

Enterprises: DNS, DHCP and IPAM underlie the reliable global delivery of applications and cannot be managed by ad-hoc solutions such as spreadsheets and custom scripts.

Vendors: Integrators and network vendors must put more emphasis on integration with robust core network infrastructure services (DNS, DHCP, IPAM)

Investors: Other vendors such as BlueCat, Solarwinds, Alcatel Lucent and BT may also seek to partner to combine product and service offerings.
