Infoblox launches Universal DDI suite

Infoblox has launched a new suite of Universal DDI network management products designed to help organisations break down silos across the NetOps, CloudOps and SecOps domains. The company says the new products combine the capabilities of DNS, DHCP and IP address management for a single hybrid, multi-cloud management solution for critical network services.

The Universal DDI Product Suite aims to enable cohesive DDI management by empowering teams to centrally manage DNS, DHCP and IP addresses. Users can utilise a variety of DNS providers, while reducing operational costs with a fully software-based deployment model that can be provisioned in minutes.

The suite consists of Infoblox Universal DDI Management, a solution for managing network services by streamlining the automation of their cross-cloud DDI environment; Infoblox Universal Asset Insights, which extends DNS and DHCP to IP address management; and NIOS-X as a Service, which is designed to extend critical network services as close to users and workloads as possible without the need for dedicated infrastructure.

Infoblox President and CEO Scott Harrell said the new solution aims to address the need for organisations to reimagine network architectures for hybrid, multi-cloud deployments.

“At Infoblox, we are reinventing the management, deployment and security of critical network services for hybrid and multi-cloud environments,” he said. “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.”

Infoblox ANZ Managing Director Scott Morris added that Australian and New Zealand enterprises and governments are moving faster than ever to hybrid cloud environments.

“This swift transition brings challenges in security, cost and business continuity, which are the most pressing concerns for businesses and their IT teams,” he said. “Infoblox’s innovations address these issues at the DNS level, leading to greater automation and improved management of critical network services.”
