RESEARCH PAPER: Infoblox Reimagines Universal DDI Management

Reducing Complexity and Optimizing Business Outcomes in the AI Era

The rising adoption of generative AI tools and agentic frameworks present a multitude of challenges to enterprise networking operations teams that are struggling to ensure robust connectivity and security at scale. Simultaneously, multi-cloud and on-premises infrastructure deployments, and emerging edge and hybrid AI use cases, are creating operational friction in the form of poor visibility and assurance. This is resulting in more frequent enterprise connectivity outages, longer mean time to resolution of faults and recovery, and unwanted business disruption.

Enterprises view the use of modern AI as a competitive advantage. Universal DDI services that include domain name system (DNS), dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), and IP address management (IPAM) can address the demands of users while providing the necessary guardrails to ensure high availability, resiliency, choice, and control. However, these services have historically been deployed individually by public cloud providers and require operational control that is pinned to each deployment. This is not ideal given that fragmented DNS-based deployments typically lead to more frequent outages, poor observability with a growing modern AI attack surface, speed versus control tradeoffs, and more.

Moor Insights & Strategy believes that Infoblox addresses these challenges with the Universal DDI Product Suite, which launched last year. New cloud service provider integrations and the launch of an AI-ready foundation have immense potential to dramatically reduce complexity and optimize business outcomes.
