September 11, 2006

Westborough, MA – September 12, 2006 - Akibia, a leading independent IT services provider, today announced it is the first Infoblox Authorized Training Center in the United States.

A growing number of end point access solutions in the enterprise, such as handhelds, PDAs and new software applications, as well as more sophisticated viruses, and compliance demands are requiring companies to invest in more robust network and security infrastructure solutions. To help its clients solve these problems, Akibia delivers a portfolio of security solutions that leverage the best technologies available, including Infoblox network identity appliances. The Infoblox appliances for domain name resolution (DNS), IP address assignment and management (DHCP/ IPAM), provide the essential infrastructure for enabling an identity-driven network, which allows enterprises to control and monitor who accesses the network, when and where.

As Akibia customers continue to deploy Infoblox appliances the demand for training services has increased. As a result, Akibia is extending its support to include education and training on all of the Infoblox appliances and solutions.

“As more and more companies understand the value of identity-driven networks and demand our solutions, we are seeing increasing demand for training to optimize solutions,” said Richard Kagan, vice president of Marketing at Infoblox. “As a long-time committed partner, Akibia was the obvious choice to become our first Authorized Training Center in the United States. Akibia’s commitment to high-quality service and instruction is unmatched and we are confident that those customers attending Akibia’s classes will benefit from top-notch training.”

Akibia provides expert consulting, integration, education and support services to Fortune 1000 companies to help them maximize the security of their network infrastructure. As an independent, trusted advisor, Akibia partners with best-in-breed technology providers to deliver innovative network and security solutions designed to help companies mitigate IT risk, reduce vulnerability and meet industry compliance requirements.

“As a trusted partner to our clients it is important that we offer them a complete solution built on leading technologies,” said Tom Willson, CEO of Akibia. “Once we design the total security solution and implement Infoblox, we can now provide training from our own certified Infoblox instructors. Our clients benefit from dealing with a single point of contact throughout solution design, implementation and training.”
