I am using Infoblox primarily for DNS, ITAM solutions along with DHCP. We also have some servers deployed in the cloud using BlocksOne for DNS and cybersecurity.
The purpose of this solution is to work with different main services already existing on the customer side, such as Microsoft's DHCP server and DNS server. While these services are mostly covered by Microsoft, Infoblox addresses the limitations and improves them significantly. For example, working with the DHCP server is more efficient and easier with Infoblox. Similarly, managing DNS services is much better in Infoblox compared to Microsoft. Infoblox excels in resolving DNS queries quickly and efficiently, and its management capabilities are superior. Infoblox focuses on DNS security, which is their main area of expertise. They want to host the DNS server in their system to enhance and secure DNS operations. This is their competitive advantage in the market—providing superior DNS security and management capabilities, not just managing security but also securing and controlling DNS records.
The utilization of Infoblox DDI is quite varied and multifaceted within our organization. One of the primary ways in which we utilize this tool is for IT management purposes, specifically in the area of IPAM (IP Address Management). We utilize Infoblox DDI as a secondary DNS system to complement our primary DNS setup. Furthermore, we also leverage the capabilities of Infoblox DDI for NTP (Network Time Protocol) purposes, ensuring that our network devices are in sync with each other. Additionally, we use it for DHCP in our environment, we have to use dynamic IP addresses. We use it for DHCP and our some clients and IoT devices.
DDI stands for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM, so it's a complete solution that provides these three services without using different standalone servers for each one. It's perfect for any enterprise that wants a complete solution. We're working with a specific customer that needs their own servers without relying on an operator. The solution is deployed on-premises. There are about 30 engineers using this solution in my organization.
Network landscapes are rapidly evolving, driven by trends in hybrid and multi-cloud transformation, the IoT and distributed workforces. Infoblox is uniquely able to support organizations in this challenging environment because our solutions support DNS, DHCP and IP address management. These are the critical network services collectively known as DDI that make all network interactions possible.
