Ensuring Up-to-Date and Correct IP Address and Network Information
Virtualization, cloud computing, IPv6, mergers & acquisitions and organic growth have all increased network complexity at an alarming rate. Recent studies show that over 70% of IT staff time is now spent doing unplanned work, especially troubleshooting, and a large percentage of those hours is tied to out-of-date, incorrect information stored across multiple spreadsheets or databases. Unconnected tools, databases and spreadsheets that leave gaping chasms between IP addresses and network infrastructure information make troubleshooting and management downright impossible tasks. Over-burdened IT staffs are in immediate need of a single, comprehensive view that bridges IP addresses to detailed network infrastructure information.
Trinzic IPAM Insight automates network discovery with topology views and with rich, detailed, physical and logical information from Layer 2 and Layer 3, respectively. Trinzic IPAM Insight finds multi-vendor routers, switches and other network infrastructure devices, and provides views of network components, including VLANs, routes, routing tables, HSRP pairs, subnets, OSs, models and more. The network information automatically syncs in real time with the Infoblox IP address management databases. The result is an authoritative source for IPAM and network information with powerful visualization and maps.
- Sync dynamic network component information with the leading IPAM solution within a single interface
- Eliminate out-of-date and incomplete network information via up-to-date auto-discovery of network elements and respective connections
- Avoid overpayment for renewal maintenance by tracking actual devices connected to the network
- Reduce troubleshooting time by visualizing the complex relationships between the devices and the network
- Improve security and compliance with continuous monitoring, new device detection and audit-based reporting
- Automates analysis of network device vulnerabilities for Cisco devices, including PSIRTs, field notices, end of life milestones, and field notices.
Sync Network Discovery with IPAM
Infoblox IP Address Management is the leading solution for centrally managing IP service infrastructure within a single console. The addition of Trinzic IPAM Insight integrates the auto-discovery of multi-vendor network devices with continuous updating of network end-points.
Instead of manually adding network components that are constantly changing, you can let Trinzic IPAM Insight synchronize critical end device information with your Infoblox IPAM database for you — in real time. Essential information — such as switch ports, IP addresses, switch port settings (duplex, speed, link state), how the host connects to VLANs and the actual defined subnets — are all accessible in the same window. Instead of cobbling together multiple views with out-of-date information, you can view the network, connections and end hosts information all within a single pane of glass.
Dynamic Discovery, Analysis, and Reporting of Network Devices and Connections
In place of manual spreadsheets and generic ping sweeps, Trinzic IPAM Insight offers complete network discovery and inventory for multi-vendor, Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks elements. User-friendly analyses and graphical views provide rich information on network elements, including devices, VLANs, routes, routing tables, HSRP peers, subnets, OS and models.
Trinzic IPAM Insight automatically collects information in real time and continuously keeps it up to date, making it always available for key tasks such as inventory, troubleshooting and maintenance reconciliation. Instead of just focusing on individual devices, the auto-discovery also includes the network connections, their dependencies and topology views of the entire infrastructure.
Reduced Troubleshooting Time with Improved Visibility
Trinzic IPAM Insight reduces the amount of time and effort needed to troubleshoot by providing improved network visibility integrated with end host/IP address information. The solution continuously monitors network and device parameters, and automatically updates the information within the single view. Trinzic IPAM Insight automatically syncs the IP map with detailed network data in real time.
IT staff can leverage powerful topology views to see how network elements are connected and their location on the network at any given time. Another extremely useful troubleshooting tool in Trinzic IPAM Insight is its ability to see data across both the IP addresses and the associated physical elements.
Improved Security and Compliance
Two of the initial questions asked during a network security review or compliance audit are, “What is the full complement of all of the devices on your network?” and “How do you determine when new devices are connected and what they are?” Trinzic IPAM Insight provides a detailed and authoritative view of everything that is connected to the network and, more importantly, demonstrates your security controls by automatically tracking new devices — both planned and unplanned—as they are added in real time.
Trinzic IPAM Insight automatically generates alerts when new devices are added so your IT team can either approve the new connections or immediately remove unauthorized devices to reduce negative security risks. For auditing purposes, the proactive monitoring and customizable reports meet the needs of security and compliance requirements relative to monitoring and tracking connected devices.
