Infoblox has announced enhancements to its Universal DDI platform, aimed at simplifying DNS, DHCP, and IP address management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The updates include new integrations with Microsoft and Google Cloud, as well as a unified management system for external DNS services.
The Universal DDI solution unifies essential network services within a SaaS-based management interface, automating common tasks such as provisioning DNS records and managing IP addresses. The goal is to help organizations effectively navigate the complexities associated with hybrid multi-cloud environments.
Key new features include:
- Integration with Microsoft Management: This allows enterprises to centrally control their DNS and DHCP services hosted on Microsoft servers.
- Google Cloud Internal Range Integration: This feature implements consistent IPAM policies across Google Cloud, on-premises, and other cloud environments, thus preventing IP overlap and expediting application deployments.
- Unified Management of External DNS: Organizations can now manage both internal and external DNS through a single dashboard, including integrations with providers like Akamai and Cloudflare.
- Protection for Self-Hosted External DNS: Enhanced security measures are in place to guard self-hosted infrastructures from DDoS attacks and other DNS threats.
- Support for AI-Ready Networks: The updates leverage AI and machine learning for identifying IP conflicts and other network risks, positioning enterprises to support workloads that depend on generative AI.
According to Jim Frey, principal analyst at Omdia, the transition towards AI technologies places new demands on network infrastructure. Enterprises must modernize core services, such as DNS and DHCP, to ensure the capabilities of AI are fully supported. The enhancements made to Infoblox’s Universal DDI platform are designed to bridge critical gaps and facilitate the development of networks capable of scaling effectively in response to evolving demands.
Customers have reported positive outcomes from using Infoblox technology. For instance, Alex Barrere, a senior core network engineer at Nordstrom, stated that the Universal DDI has revolutionized their DNS management within a complex multi-cloud framework, improving performance metrics significantly.
The recent updates from Infoblox come in response to the urgent need for businesses to adopt modern network service solutions while transitioning away from legacy systems that are ill-suited for contemporary hybrid network demands. These innovative functionalities aim to eliminate management silos and equip enterprises with robust infrastructures necessary for supporting AI applications and automating previously labor-intensive processes.
