The Digitalisation World Video magazine contains the latest Zoom interviews with experts in the industry.
● 55% of network administrators reported struggling with keeping all network devices properly updated
● 48% reported not having enough personnel on site
● And 43% of respondents cited a lack of resources to properly manage the network
To address these customer challenges, Infoblox announced the launch of BloxOne DDI, the industry’s first cloud-managed DDI (DNS, DCHP and IPAM) offering for remote and branch office networks. As a virtualised and cloud-managed DDI platform, BloxOne DDI enables enterprises to fully realise the benefits of SD-WAN, bringing simplified remote management to branch offices. Customer benefits include:
· Enhanced End User Experience: Local DNS name resolution of endpoints helps to ensure that the closest entry points for SaaS applications are being used for user connections resulting in faster response time.
· Enterprise Grade Reliability: Moving the control and management functions to the cloud, leaves a lightweight virtual appliance on-site providing local survivability and increased uptime.
· Cloud Managed Automation: Zero-touch provision automates the provisioning of thousands of remote sites and provides centralised policy control - eliminating per site error-prone manual methods.
“As a large global operation, we have offices and branch locations throughout the world from manufacturing plants, parts and service centres, to research and development offices. There is a tremendous amount of communication taking place on the network from the branch location back to the corporate data centre. We need to have reliable network performance. Any network disruption can result in a substantial loss of money and time. BloxOne DDI has enabled us to gain that critical network reliability at the branch.” - Network Security Architect, a large multinational automotive manufacturer
As workforces evolve to include more remote and branch offices, and enterprises continue to undergo digital transformations, enterprises are increasingly relying on cloud-hosted services for critical workloads and are outgrowing traditional WAN architectures. SD-WAN can be a simple and cost-effective way to provide enterprises with reliable and optimised connectivity to cloud based applications such as Office 365, but many fail to upgrade their underlying network infrastructure.
“DDI is a critical functionality for network connections, whether in the data centre or in the branch. However, too often organisations adopt SD-WAN without considering how their DDI platforms must evolve as well,” said Brandon Butler, Senior Research Analyst, Enterprise Networks at IDC. “A lightweight DDI solution allows organisations to execute DDI functions in the branch, such as resolving DNS queries locally without having to backhaul to a datacentre. This enables direct connections to public cloud platforms and ensures enterprises get the full value of their SD-WAN deployments.”
“We are proud to continue Infoblox’s legacy of leadership in the industry”, said Kanaiya Vasani, executive vice president of products and corporate development at Infoblox. “We want our customers to have a next level network experience that allows them to fully reap the benefits of migrating to SaaS and SD-WAN by modernising their DDI platform.”
