vCloud Automation Center (vCAC), as a part of the VMware vCloud Suite, offers automated provisioning on both private and public clouds and physical infrastructures, the advantages in terms of processes acceleration and simplification often collide on manual tools and procedures, when the focus shifts on network services configurations.
This week Infoblox, a company active in the network control automation market, announced the integration of its IP Address Management (IPAM) Plug-in for VMware with vCAC; this plug-in automates IP address allocation/de-allocation along with the creation/deletion of DNS host records directly to virtual machines and can be used to automate traditionally manual functions as IP addresses assignment, management of VMs collections, etc.
Infoblox IPAM Plugin-in for VMware is available as a no-charge extension to the Infoblox DNS, DHCP, IP Address Management (DDI) product.
