SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Infoblox, a leader in cloud networking and security services, today unveils its new Universal DDI(TM) Product Suite, which enables cohesive DDI management, comprehensive asset visibility, and proactive security by breaking down silos across NetOps, CloudOps, and SecOps while offering the added flexibility of adaptive deployment models. Infoblox is the only company to equip IT and business leaders with this level of cohesive DDI management. Through its set of automation-ready solutions, the Universal DDI Product Suite empowers teams to centrally manage DNS, DHCP, and IP addresses faster and with less effort. These combined capabilities enable customers to maintain centralized control while using a variety of DNS providers, and gain in-depth views and contextual understanding across the entirety of their network through Universal Asset Insights. In addition, this cloud solution uniquely slashes operational costs with a fully SaaS-based deployment model that can be provisioned in minutes.

91%* of global organizations report using two or more cloud service providers to innovate faster, streamline operations, and modernize their workloads. With each new environment, critical network services management grows more complex and compounds the chances of human error. Managing multiple siloed DNS environments increases operational costs and reduces agility. Fragmented IP address management across multiple public clouds and on-premises infrastructure creates IP conflicts, risking network and application outages. Lack of centralized visibility across hybrid clouds leads to higher costs from zombie or orphaned workloads, which can also pose security risks.

"Network architectures must be reimagined for hybrid, multi-cloud deployments to enable companies to move fast with confidence," said Scott Harrell, President and CEO, Infoblox. "At Infoblox, we are reinventing the management, deployment 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--significantly streamlining automation, accelerating application deployment, and dramatically simplifying operations."

Introducing the Game-Changing Universal DDI Product Suite

"The new Universal DDI Product Suite is truly transformational. We've carefully designed a new portal to assist in breaking down operational silos among NetOps, CloudOps, and SecOps teams, helping them make critical business decisions with speed," said Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Infoblox.

The Infoblox Universal DDI Product Suite includes three new offerings:

    --  Infoblox Universal DDI Management: The industry's first comprehensive
        solution for simple, unified critical network services management allows
        customers to accelerate their business operations by streamlining the
        automation of their cross-cloud DDI environments. With policy-driven
        network and IP address allocation across the entire hybrid, multi-cloud
        estate, it improves efficiency and reliability while preventing network
        outages.Universal DDI Management's SaaS capabilities enable faster
        releases and reduce customer maintenance burdens. With the freedom to
        manage third-party DNS services like Amazon Route 53, Azure DNS, and
        Google Cloud DNS, it centralizes and dramatically simplifies DNS
        management."The ability to run DHCP in a centralized manner, combined
        with improved failover mechanisms, is particularly important given the
        natural disasters Iowa has experienced in recent years," said Todd
        Burzynski, Supervisor, IT Networks, UnityPoint Health. "This model helps
        to support our disaster recovery strategy by allowing us to maintain
        local DNS management while also utilizing cloud-based services. These
        features are aligned with our ongoing efforts to enhance resilience and
        ensure continuity of critical operations in the healthcare environment."


    --  Infoblox Universal Asset Insights: This product offers an unrivaled
        breadth of discovery sources, giving a unified, comprehensive, and
        context-rich view of assets across hybrid, multi-cloud environments. By
        extending DNS and DHCP to IP address management (IPAM), Universal Asset
        Insights pioneers discovery, analytics, and remediation across an
        organization's entire digital estate. With continuous updates to the
        IPAM inventory, organizations can eliminate the need for outdated manual
        tracking methods 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 purpose-built to extend
        critical network services as close to users and workloads as possible
        without requiring customers to deploy any infrastructure, which keeps
        deployment and operational costs low. It offers the operational
        simplicity CloudOps teams need, alongside the resilience, consistency,
        visibility, and security that NetOps and SecOps require. This single
        solution satisfies 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 consolidating
        cloud-native services onto one unified solution, and optimize branch
        operations with infrastructure-free DNS and DHCP services.

To help IT teams work more effectively together, the Infoblox Universal DDI Product Suite is accessible and managed through a unified Infoblox Portal.

"Infoblox's innovative approach to managing critical network services for hybrid, multi-cloud environments is unmatched by any other vendor today. I believe these DDI solutions will help organizations realize tangible business benefits that will drive operational efficiency, offer faster service delivery, and improve their security posture through DNS-based insights and analytics," said Zeus Kerravala, ZK Research, Founder and Principal Analyst.
