SANTA CLARA, California, September 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Information blocka leader in cloud networking and security services, today announced the new Universal DDI Product Suite, Infoblox is the only company that provides consistent DDI management, comprehensive asset visibility, and proactive security by eliminating silos across NetOps, CloudOps, and SecOps, and offers the added flexibility of adaptable deployment models. Infoblox is the only company that equips IT and business leaders with this level of consistent DDI management. With a set of automation-ready solutions, the Universal DDI Suite enables teams to centrally manage DNS, DHCP, and IP addresses faster and with less effort. These combined capabilities enable customers to maintain centralized control when using multiple DNS providers, and gain deep views and contextual understanding across their entire network through Universal Asset Insights.

91%* of global organizations report using two or more cloud service providers to innovate faster, streamline operations, and modernize workloads. With each new environment, critical network services management becomes more complex and increases the potential for human error. Managing multiple siloed DNS environments increases operational costs and reduces agility. Fragmented IP address management across multiple public clouds and on-premises infrastructures creates IP conflicts, leading to network and application outages. The lack of centralized visibility in hybrid clouds leads to higher costs from zombie or orphaned workloads, which can create security risks.

“To enable companies to move quickly with confidence, network architectures need to be redesigned for hybrid, multi-cloud deployments,” he said. Scott HarrellPresident and CEO, Infoblox. “At Infoblox, we are reinventing the management, delivery, and security of critical network services for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Our mission is to provide NetOps, SecOps, and CloudOps teams with the robust tools they need to achieve unprecedented collaboration, dramatically simplify automation, accelerate application delivery, and dramatically simplify operations.”

By extending DNS and DHCP to IP address management (IPAM), Universal Asset Insights drives discovery, analysis, and remediation across an organization’s entire digital assets. With continuous updates to the IPAM inventory, organizations can eliminate the need for legacy manual monitoring methods that are prone to errors and delays. Universal Asset Insights also automatically identifies unused IP addresses and zombie workloads, significantly reducing operational expenses and exposure to security risks.
• NIOS-X as a Service: NIOS-X as a Service is specifically designed to extend critical network services as close to users and workloads as possible without requiring customers to deploy any infrastructure, keeping deployment and operational costs low. It delivers the operational simplicity that CloudOps teams require, along with the resiliency, consistency, visibility, and security that NetOps and SecOps require. This single solution meets the demands of diverse IT operations teams. With NIOS-X as a Service, IT teams can modernize on-premises Microsoft DNS through rapid deployment, streamline multi-cloud DNS by combining cloud-based services into a single, unified solution, and optimize branch operations with infrastructure-free DNS and DHCP services.
