Infoblox Universal DDI Management

Infoblox Universal DDI Management is a comprehensive SaaS solution designed for today's hybrid and multi-cloud networking infrastructure. It addresses challenges and security concerns that arise from the foundational network service management. By adopting Universal DDI Management, you can address the following networking and security concerns:

DNS Fragmentation: Cloud DNS services are often siloed within individual providers, complicating management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This fragmentation leads to potential network outages, increased operational costs, and a heightened risk of human error.
Limited Visibility: The lack of centralized visibility across hybrid clouds poses not only management challenges but also significant security risks. Without a unified view of network assets, organizations struggle with undetected zombie workloads and resource mismanagement.
Complex Automation: Cross-cloud automation is a major hurdle, with each cloud provider offering its own set of tools. This necessitates separate automations for each platform, increasing complexity, costs, and the reliance on manual processes.
Modern IT Demands: Today’s IT operations require agility, speed, and simplicity. There is a growing need for infrastructure-free deployment solutions that can be quickly implemented across various environments, from branch offices to cloud migrations.

Universal DDI Management, coupled with Universal Asset Insights and NIOS-X as a Service, enables organizations to simplify DDI management (DNS, DHCP, and IP address management) across on-premises environments and public clouds by offering unified management, in-depth visibility and insights, and infrastructure-free deployment. By adopting these new features, your organization can achieve greater operational efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate your journey towards digital transformation.

Universal DDI Management consolidates configuration and control of several DDI services, including Microsoft DNS, BIND, NIOS Grid deployments, NIOS-X Physical and Virtual Servers (formerly BloxOne hosts or on-prem hosts), new NIOS-X as a Service (formerly DDI-as-a-Service), Amazon Route 53, Azure DNS and Google Cloud DNS. This level of consolidation streamlines operations and significantly improves the speed and efficiency of service delivery across the entire infrastructure.

Universal DDI Management is a subscription-based solution that provides scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services across thousands of locations. It is the industry’s first cloud-managed DDI solution optimized for large-scale retail, remote and branch office deployments. The solution delivers secure, reliable, and centrally-managed DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services at each location. You can deploy Universal DDI across thousands of sites and reduce the total cost of ownership by leveraging low-cost hardware, virtual appliances, license pooling, and license portability.
