The Infoblox-250-A network services appliance is designed to serve small enterprise and branch-office applications, and can be deployed as a standalone unit or in high-availability pairs. The Infoblox-250-A breaks the “white box barrier” because it’s priced at little or no premium to general-purpose servers with standard operating systems.

The DNSone with Grid package delivers reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure core network
services at a lower cost and with higher security than server-software and with greater network
availability than any competing solution. The services included in the DNSone with Grid package are:

- Naming services via Domain Name System (DNS);
- Addressing services via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP);
- Network visibility and control via IP address management (IPAM);
- Authentication, authorization, and accounting services via RADIUS Proxy;
- File delivery services via Trivial File Transfer Protocol (FTP, HTTP, TFTP);
- Time synchronization services via Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Advance Hardware Replacement

The customer is entitled to receive advance hardware replacement of defective product prior to Infoblox receiving the defective unit. For any Infoblox product that is defective in workmanship or materials, Infoblox will replace the unit with like unit from its facilities in Sunnyvale, CA or from the facilities of its integration partner(s).

For any RMA requests received before 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on business days, Infoblox will ship the replacement unit the same business day to arrive at the customer premises the next business day (in U.S. only). For requests processed after 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time, the replacement will be shipped out to the customer the next business day. For requests received on non-business days, the RMA will be shipped out the next business day. All hardware units shipped as exchange replacements from Infoblox will be shipped at no cost to the customer and will be comprised of standard or reconditioned components of equal or greater quality, revision level, and/or functionality than the failed customer unit. For hardware failures that occur in the first 90 days of operation, Infoblox will replace the unit with a new unit. Upon receipt of the replacement unit from Infoblox, the customer must ship the RMA'ed unit back to Infoblox to arrive no later than 10 business days after the replacement unit is received. For customers outside of North America, Infoblox must receive the RMA'ed unit within 20 business days from the receipt of the replacement unit. Should Infoblox fail to receive the RMA'ed unit(s), the customer will be billed the then current Infoblox list price for the product. Non-payment by customer may result in suspension of all support services from Infoblox.
