We've done some work setting up Infoblox with an infrastructure provider that was deploying a large number of metering devices in the field to monitor customer usage. The setup is fairly straight forward, and the way they work is actually pretty cool - tying your IPAM to DNS and DHCP is really sweet, makes device address mobility and DNS->IP updates automatic and smooth. A lot easier than having to update a whole bunch of disparate systems every time you move something. They have a good system of redundancy for the boxes and for larger organisations with a lot of sites, it's pretty easy to recommend.<div>
