Infoblox has enhanced its Universal DDI platform with new multi-cloud integrations that streamline network management for hybrid environments. This expansion aims to simplify the management of DNS (Domain Name System), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and IP address management (IPAM).
The updated Universal DDI platform provides a unified interface that automates tasks like provisioning DNS records and managing IP addresses. These improvements are crucial for enterprises managing complex networks that incorporate both on-premises and cloud infrastructure.
Key features of the new updates include:
- Microsoft Management Integration: Offers centralized control over DNS and DHCP services hosted on Microsoft servers.
- Google Cloud Internal Range Integration: Ensures consistent IPAM policies across Google Cloud and other environments to prevent IP conflicts and expedite application deployments.
- Unified External DNS Management: Enables management of internal and external DNS through a single interface, including integration with providers like Akamai and Cloudflare.
- Enhanced Protection for Self-Hosted DNS: Strengthens defenses against DDoS attacks and other DNS threats.
- AI-Ready Network Enablement: Utilizes AI and machine learning to monitor and resolve issues related to IP conflicts and DNS records, laying the groundwork necessary for running AI workloads.
According to industry experts, these advancements are needed as enterprises strive to modernize their infrastructure. Legacy tools often create complexities that hinder effective network management. Infoblox’s updates aim to close these gaps and facilitate the deployment of AI technologies.
Customers have reported significant benefits from using Infoblox’s solutions, such as improved performance and reduced latency.
