INSIDE INFOBLOX

II 101 – GETTING BANG FOR YOUR BUCK: MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF INFOBLOX SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY

Presenter:Sonya Andreae, VP of Customer Advocacy, Allen Brown, Director, Technical Support, and Eric Stieg, Community Manager
Of interest to: Customers using Infoblox Support and customers interested in participating in the Infoblox Experts Community

Support and the Infoblox Experts Community are typically your first point of contact for questions or issues after deploying Infoblox solutions. One challenge customers often face is not knowing what resources are available via self-help documentation or through the community, and which issues need expert technical assistance.

Join this interactive session and you’ll walk away with:

• A better understanding of self-help available through the Infoblox Experts Community and Support portals
• The answers to frequently asked questions
• Interactive knowledge exchange with other session attendees on challenges customers face with common use cases and scenarios

This is a great opportunity to make sure you get the maximum value and timeliness from Infoblox. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to voice your needs and requests to the Infoblox Support and Community leadership.

So Infoblox is moving rapidly towards transforming the Infoblox Grid™into a flexible data platform to integrate with our customers’ business processes: audits, automated service provisioning, asset management, securing networks and data, deploying hybrid clouds, and more.

During this interactive session, you’ll hear how our customers are leveraging Infoblox to transform their systems and processes, and how Infoblox’s future product strategy will support those transformations.

• Hear what our customers are telling us: What’s working and what’s not, and what new problems they are asking us to help solve
• Learn what Infoblox has done over the past year with platform and solution enhancements
• Hear about future plans for product enhancements across DDI, security, cloud, and network automation solutions
• Provide insight and feedback on your future requirements

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how Infoblox expects to meet the needs of our customers as network, security, and hybrid cloud requirements grow and evolve.
