Cloud Field Day 21 presented a nuanced view of cloud adoption, recognizing that both public cloud and on-premises environments have their place — and that technologies developed for the public cloud can enhance on-premises environments and vice versa.
Our presentation will build on that theme. At Infoblox, we understand the complexities of managing DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) in today’s hybrid, multi-cloud environments.
Organizations face significant challenges in managing DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) in hybrid, multi-cloud environments. These include human errors causing outages, increased management costs, and inefficient IP address utilization. Poor coordination between teams can lead to IP conflicts and application outages, while stale DNS records and zombie assets create security vulnerabilities and inflate costs.
We’ll discuss how the revolutionary Infoblox Universal DDI™ Product Suite addresses these challenges head-on. This suite offers three groundbreaking offerings: Infoblox Universal DDI Management, Infoblox Universal Asset Insights™, and NIOS-X as a Service. These solutions provide unified management, enhanced visibility, and seamless automation across all cloud platforms, thereby reducing human errors, lowering management costs, and improving IP address utilization. We will also showcase each offering’s capabilities in real-time with live demos.
These solutions provide unified management, enhanced visibility, and seamless automation across all cloud platforms. We are particularly excited to showcase each offering’s capabilities in real-time with live demos, giving you a firsthand experience of their power.

Are you among the many IT professionals, CloudOps teams, and NetOps teams struggling to manage your hybrid and multi-cloud environments effectively? While multi-cloud environments promise faster innovation, best-of-breed solutions and streamlined operations, they also introduce complexity in providing critical network services, such as DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI).
As organizations expand their multi-cloud deployments, CloudOps and NetOps teams often juggle multiple DNS solutions across various clouds and on-prem locations. Most cloud providers offer DNS services that are limited to their own environments and lack cross-cloud and on-premises integration. This fragmented approach makes network automation impractical and leads to increased management overhead, manual update processes, configuration errors, and ultimately, service outages and higher costs.
As an integral part of your organization, how do you consistently deliver critical network services like DNS and DHCP across your entire environment? Public cloud DNS solutions, such as AWS Route 53, Azure DNS and Google Cloud DNS, work well within their respective clouds but fall short when extending services across other clouds or on-premises environments. This often results in CloudOps teams managing each service separately, sometimes even requiring isolated account management within a single cloud. Meanwhile, NetOps teams must maintain additional DNS services for on-premises locations.
Hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructures are an absolute necessity in today’s fast-paced world, and reliable network services are critical to their success. Learn how Infoblox Universal DDI Management modernizes the delivery and management of these services, while also improving business operations at scale, and how it unifies DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management across all on-premises, private and multi-cloud deployments, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
We’ll demonstrate its powerful capabilities by showcasing its seamless integrations with AWS Route 53, Microsoft Azure DNS, and Google Cloud Platform DNS. This approach also facilitates network transformation, ensuring your organization stays ahead in the dynamic IT landscape.

Discovery and Analysis for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Visibility with Infoblox Universal Asset Insights

Organizations continue to adopt cloud strategies and are challenged by the mix of disparate systems for managing network services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, partner networks and a multitude of underlying physical devices. The absence of centralized visibility exacerbates these challenges, resulting in a lack of awareness of what is on the network, what is happening on the network and who is responsible for it.
Limited visibility into subnets and other network resources provisioned can lead to misconfigurations and outages. Manually tracking the IP addresses and resources using spreadsheets or other in-house tools can lead to visibility gaps or resource conflicts, resulting in longer troubleshooting times and the inability to manage growing environments at scale.
Lack of centralized visibility across hybrid networks is also a security risk. Cloud sprawl is a significant issue for organizations, and the inability to track what is on the network and its usage can result in undiscovered zombie assets and orphaned resources and services, leading to increased costs or exploitation by malicious actors.
Universal Asset Insights automates the discovery and analysis of IP-based and non-IP-based assets across public clouds, on-premises networks, IoT/OT devices and third-party applications and keeps IP address management (IPAM) updated without manual intervention. The expanded asset discovery provides unparalleled, contextualized and near–real-time visibility into the extensive on-premises assets and multi-cloud network assets. Combined with Infoblox critical network services, including DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI), Universal Asset Insights enhances the scope of network visibility and accuracy of IPAM. NetOps, CloudOps and SecOps now have a trusted infrastructure-wide central repository of assets and connectivity details, which improves network visibility, network automation, operational efficiency and contextual awareness across the entire environment.
We’ll also demonstrate how Infoblox Universal Asset Insights helps identify and remediate zombie assets across multi-cloud networks.

Businesses are embracing hybrid (i.e., on-premises, public and private cloud) and multi-cloud deployments to modernize their infrastructures and IT operations for greater agility, speed and simplicity. These trends are driven by the need to innovate faster, streamline operations, modernize workloads and even integrate environments during and after mergers and acquisitions. However, deploying and managing critical network services such as DDI in these environments has become a major challenge.
To address this, enterprise organizations increasingly reduce hardware footprints in distributed locations and seek true cloud solutions as they modernize and scale their networks. These requirements have become foundational and span network infrastructures, from cloud workload migrations and new cloud deployments to private data centers and branch offices. By embracing such flexible solutions, businesses can enhance their operational efficiency and adaptability in today’s dynamic IT landscape.
Infoblox has introduced NIOS-X as a Service, the industry’s most advanced cloud delivery solution for the deployment and management of critical network services for hybrid, multi-cloud environments. NIOS-X as a Service combines operational efficiency with exceptional reliability and leverages a new as-a-service model to reduce management overhead while ensuring the ease and simplicity of infrastructure-free delivery.
