Mercy Medical Center Standardizes on Infoblox Appliances for DNS/DHCP and Other Core Network Services

SANTA CLARA, CA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Infoblox Inc., today announced that Maryland's Mercy Medical Center, rated
one of the top medical facilities in the United States, has selected and
deployed Infoblox appliances to deliver internal and external domain name
resolution (DNS), IP address assignment and management (DHCP/IPAM), as well as
other
core network services.

Mercy Medical Center is a full service hospital delivering a comprehensive
range of
health services including internal medicine, obstetrics, urology, pediatrics,
cardiology, rehabilitative care and emergency medicine. With more than 600
physicians and 2600 employees, the Mercy Medical Center depends on its IT
network to effectively serve its patients in these practices. Core network
services like DNS and DHCP are essential to the daily operation of the Mercy
Hospital network and applications like Voice over IP (VoIP), which requires
highly reliable and easily tracked IP address assignment services.

In fact, a planned VoIP implementation -- expected to reach 3,000 handsets
by 2010
-- is what prompted the Mercy Medical IT team to evaluate its previous core
network services systems: Microsoft Active Directory servers in conjunction with
Excel spreadsheets to manage IP addresses, which were too cumbersome to
manage, insecure and often unreliable.

After evaluating several competing products, Mercy Medical Center
standardized
on Infoblox appliances to deliver core network services for the hospital's
entire IP network and applications, including its new VoIP application. The
Infoblox core network services infrastructure will provide the scalable and
robust platform to support the hospital's new 18-story patient care tower
expected to open in 2010.

"The Infoblox product helped us stabilize, simplify and strengthen our
corenetwork services infrastructure," commented Mark Rein, senior director of
Information Technology, Mercy Medical Center. "Now, instead of spinning cycles
managing multiple domain controllers and ad-hoc systems, my team can focus
more on the tough things like the clinical applications themselves. More
importantly,
with Infoblox, we rest at night trusting it will not go down." Rein
concluded: "And, when our brand new hospital is completed in 2010, the core
network services infrastructure is already in place for a seamless
transition."

Infoblox appliances deliver reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure
corenetwork services and are designed for nonstop operation in
high-performancenetworks. The Mercy Medical Center is using Infoblox appliances
running
ashigh availability pairs dispersed at two data centers in the Baltimore area.
