Infoblox DNS Expert Cricket Liu Featured at Burton Group's Twelfth Annual Catalyst Conference11 July 2005
Infoblox Inc. today announced that Cricket Liu, vice president of architecture for the company and author of O'Reilly & Associates' best-selling series of books on the Domain Name System (DNS), will present in the Identity and Privacy Strategies track at Burton Group's twelfth annual Catalyst Conference North America, San Diego, Calif., July 13-15, 2005.
Domain name resolution and IP address assignment services are essential to the operation of any IP network today. Unfortunately, legacy approaches to delivering these services -- typically general purpose server and operating system-based solutions -- fall short in providing the necessary reliability, manageability, scalability and security to support today's advanced IP networks and applications, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and wireless.
In his presentation, titled: "Building a Next-generation DNS Architecture" and held at 10:40 a.m., Thursday, July 14, Liu will discuss these issues in detail and illustrate best practices for deploying an effective network identity infrastructure (NII), the essential set of systems that store and deliver information about users, devices, and policies to networked devices and applications. Following this next-generation approach can help enterprises benefit from nonstop domain name resolution and IP address assignment services, while minimizing management overhead and security vulnerabilities that can leave networks susceptible to a range of DNS attacks, including pharming and denial of service.
"This presentation is designed to expose the security risks, as well as manageability and scalability challenges, associated with using legacy DNS applications on general purpose servers and operating systems," said Liu. "We hope that by providing industry best-practice design guidelines, we can enable enterprise IT managers and network administrators to deliver more reliable, manageable, scalable and secure DNS services essential to operating advanced IP networks and applications."
Burton Group Catalyst Conference North America 2005 will include thought-provoking discussions from Burton Group analysts and consultants, strategies from vendors, and case studies from global enterprises, focusing on helping end-users leverage existing and emerging infrastructure technologies more effectively. It will feature four conference tracks: Application Platform Strategies; Identity and Privacy Strategies; Network and Telecom Strategies; and Security and Risk Management Strategies. On the final day, the four tracks will converge into two cross-cutting concern sessions that will provide a holistic view of two of the biggest issues facing enterprise IT architects: application and network security.
