We use DSC daily in our monitoring and troubleshooting and the data that DSC provides to us seems to be something that Infoblox is lacking at first glance. Have you ever been approached on building an appliance based solution for DSC? It would seem that DSC could fit into their solution but there is nothing that can be 'user' installed into Infoblox devices. David A.

It'd be fairly easy to configure DSC as a VirtualBox/VMware OVF or a KVM virtual image, pre-configured. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days of work to do the basic, but there are choiced to be made, for example whether or not to run the collector and the front-end on the same host, etc...
