Infoblox Rolls Out NIOS-X as a Service for Next-Generation Enterprise Solutions

In today’s fast-paced business environments, organizations are increasingly working within hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, which presents a complex challenge when it comes to delivering critical network services such as DNS and DHCP across both on-premises and cloud environments. IT teams are under growing pressure to manage and deploy these services at scale, often encountering significant difficulties in maintaining efficiency and reliability. Infoblox, a recognized leader in network control solutions, has introduced a cutting-edge cloud-native solution called NIOS-X as a Service, which is designed to address these challenges. This solution is poised to transform the way businesses manage DNS and DHCP services, making it easier for enterprises to scale and adapt in today’s dynamic landscape.

Mohammed Al-Moneer, the Senior Regional Director for META at Infoblox, points out the difficulties faced by enterprise IT leaders in managing the complexity of distributed network services across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. Infoblox’s NIOS-X as a Service aims to alleviate these concerns by offering businesses a flexible and cost-effective solution that enhances agility, scalability, and efficiency. This solution is specifically engineered to simplify the deployment process while providing enterprises with the tools needed to optimize their network services across a variety of infrastructures.

NIOS-X as a Service is a cloud-native solution that eliminates the need for on-premises hardware or appliances to deliver enterprise-grade DNS and DHCP services. The service is hosted in the Infoblox cloud and is supported by a global network of Points of Presence (PoPs), ensuring high availability and low latency. This infrastructure provides businesses with a robust and scalable service that can seamlessly integrate into existing networks. One of the key benefits of the solution is its centralized management, which is facilitated through the Infoblox Portal. The portal allows users to manage their DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) operations, as well as their DNS security and logs, all from a single platform. The portal is also integrated with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, simplifying the deployment and management of DNS and DHCP services across diverse environments.

The service brings numerous advantages to businesses, including increased agility by eliminating the need for physical DDI hardware at branch locations. This means network teams can deploy and update DNS and DHCP services quickly and easily, with minimal effort. This streamlined process not only reduces operational complexities but also helps cut down on both capital expenditures and operational costs. Furthermore, NIOS-X as a Service simplifies the deployment of network services across new locations, enabling businesses to expand their networks efficiently. With the service’s robust infrastructure providing 99.999% uptime, organizations can rely on Infoblox to minimize downtime and ensure consistent availability of their network services, reducing the risks associated with service interruptions and potential revenue losses.

In addition to the cloud-native service, Infoblox also offers NIOS-X Physical and Virtual Servers, which are designed for scenarios that require local survivability. These servers ensure that business operations can continue uninterrupted even if there is a failure in the cloud connection, providing an added layer of resilience to the network.

As enterprises expand their networks on a global scale, the need for efficient, scalable, and secure management of critical network services like DNS and DHCP has never been more urgent. NIOS-X as a Service addresses these needs by providing a centralized, simplified approach to service delivery. By configuring critical network services once and distributing them centrally throughout the environment, this solution not only saves time but also significantly reduces the complexity of managing network services across multiple platforms, including public clouds, data centers, and distributed sites. This infrastructure-free approach results in significant resource savings, enabling organizations to operate with greater agility, speed, and operational efficiency.

With NIOS-X as a Service, Infoblox is empowering businesses to focus on their core objectives—driving growth and innovation—while handling the complexities of DNS and DHCP management. By offering a solution that modernizes and streamlines network management, Infoblox helps businesses scale their operations and achieve greater operational efficiency.
