Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense Scalability

BB
Senior Network Architect at a university with 10,001+ employees

We have scaled it as far as we need to, and I have not seen any issues in that regard.

BloxOne gets used with every device in our enterprise that does DNS. As the number of devices grows, usage goes up. It is something that gets used without people even noticing that it's there. Almost the entire enterprise is using it.

As for increasing the use of its features, such as the integrations, we have talked about it, but we have way too many other projects and that has been put on the back burner.

We've only implemented it in the US and scalability-wise, it has been more than sufficient for our needs. It's a cloud-based solution so there are multiple entry points. We are planning to go global with it in the near future and I don't foresee any problem.

Because it is cloud-based, it scales to what we need it for. I don't see any limitations on where we couldn't add more on-prem hosts into this environment. I believe that it can handle anything that we throw at it from a scalability perspective.

There are probably 25,000 users who go through the cloud. They could be anyone: engineers, project managers, and retail store servers as well as network devices. All these types of people and devices go through Threat Defense Cloud.

The tool is scalable. Most of our customers use Infoblox. I have sold it to one customer. The others had it already.

We have no issues with the scalability. 10-15 users are using this solution. It is suitable for medium and enterprise users.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

It is cloud-based, so it can infinitely grow.

We have 18 hospitals and thousands of clinics. We are always growing. We plan to implement the solution in more locations going forward.

From a scalability perspective, it scales high, so I would rate it a ten. However, it doesn't scale down well; that's a problem. I work with businesses of all sizes, depending on their needs.

I have not seen any issues with scalability. We have probably about a half dozen users. They are network engineers and security administrators.

We do have plans to increase its usage. It is not used extensively. We have a baseline to look for the biggest threats, and then we hope to increase that usage as time goes by.

The scalability is very good.

There are about 100 offices worldwide with about 10,000 people working with the solution. Whenever we need a new system, it is deployed within 30 minutes or so.

In the cloud, this solution is very scalable. Especially for the data exfiltration part because you don't have to rely on your on-premises CPU capacity, as it is done from Infoblox itself.

You don't even see how much it scales, although you have to adjust your subscription accordingly. It's actually a gentleman's agreement in terms of the license, so if you don't oversubscribe on your connections then they don't enforce the targets.

We have about four hundred mobile users who are being protected while they are off-premises, and internally we are defending about twenty-five hundred users.

It is used on a daily basis. All of our internal DNS queries are passed through this solution and we have approximately twenty thousand active IP addresses.

Its scalability has no concerns and is perfectly fine. For scalability, I rank Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense on the top of the line. They have recently introduced the SDLA agreement in which you have as many VMs as you want to have under the same license. It has a good architecture for scalability, so by using the manager, you can add multiple appliances. You can use any tasks.

There are currently no users since we are in the POC state. Eventually, we will have around 1,000 users.
