Following their press-release and VMworld 2011 presentation Infoblox has now published a technical note which can help you to learn how the Infoblox VMware vCenter Orchestrator Plug-in alleviates the challenges of IP Address Management within rapidly expanding virtualized environments.

Quoting a part of the Tech Note:

The plug-in was developed for and is delivered with the VMware vCenter Orchestrator (vCO), which works in tandem with the VMware vCloud Director (vCD). The vCD provides automated IP addressing and related management capabilities in real time as virtual machines are created and destroyed.

• Simplify troubleshooting and reduce downtime with real-time visibility into physical and virtualized network
infrastructure
• Manage movement between VM clusters easily with synchronization of critical DNS, DHCP and IP address services
• Eliminate errors introduced by manual processes
