Infoblox Surpasses 200 Customers in Breakout Year for Universal DDI™ and Announces New Capabilities for Network Transformation

Infoblox announced over 200 organizations, including Fortune 500 firms, have adopted its Universal DDI™ platform within a year, following the launch of its Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) last year. The platform aims to modernize network operations and improve resiliency across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The Universal DDI platform addresses challenges associated with legacy network services and rising cyber threats. It reduces the risk of outages caused by configuration errors, which have impacted nearly 40 percent of organizations in the past three years, with downtime costing large enterprises an average of $1.4 million Power Efficiency Ratio (PER) hour.

New features introduced include centralized management for Microsoft Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), integrations with Google Cloud, and robust protection for self-hosted external DNS. These enhancements aim to unify network services into a single management plane, facilitating quicker deployments and operational efficiency. Infoblox noted that the adoption of its platform allows organizations to automate manual processes and gain centralized visibility, enabling them to respond to Artificial Intelligence (AI) demands effectively.

“Infoblox Universal DDI has transformed how we manage DNS across our complex, multi-cloud environment,” said Alex Barrere, senior core network engineer at Nordstrom. The updates are focused on empowering enterprises to expand their infrastructures without compromising control, as businesses increasingly shift towards AI-ready networks.

As noted by Scott Harrell, president and CEO of Infoblox, modernization of foundational network services such as DNS and DHCP is essential for organizations aiming to leverage advanced technologies moving forward. The company's new capabilities are designed to eliminate the trade-off between speed and control that has long burdened network teams.
