GEC NEWS WIREInfoblox extends its enterprise-grade network services to the AWS Cloud
Infoblox has unveiled Infoblox DDI for Amazon Web Services (AWS), a virtual appliance that extends the Infoblox solution for enterprise-grade network services and security to the AWS Cloud.
As Infoblox customers move to next-generation IT architectures that combine traditional networks with on-premises environments and cloud deployments, Infoblox is helping to enable these shifts by supporting a unified, consistent architecture across these platforms. Infoblox DDI for AWS which runs in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) environments, manages DNS records and IP addresses and integrates seamlessly with an organization’s existing Infoblox infrastructure. The offering, the first from Infoblox for the cloud, also supports DNS firewall security to detect infected workloads and help prevent the spread of malware.
Scott Fulton, executive vice president of product at Infoblox said, “Infoblox DDI for AWS delivers that unified control, allowing cloud architects to more effectively plan for their requirements, while IT operations and network teams have comprehensive visibility and control of cloud resources.”
Agility, consistency, and visibility are the key benefits of Infoblox DDI for AWS. Infoblox now supports more cloud and virtualization platforms than any other DDI vendor. In addition to AWS, supported platforms include VMware, Microsoft, OpenStack, Cisco, HP, BMC, CA, and Elasticbox. This broad support enables organizations to evolve their cloud strategy based on business needs, while maintaining consistent network-services infrastructures without costly and disruptive migrations.
