Infoblox Inc. (NYSE:BLOX), the network control company, today announced
that a new report from Gartner, Inc., titled “Market Guide for DNS, DHCP
and IP Address Management (DDI),” says, “We are beginning to see an
early-stage trend whereby organizations that have deployed a commercial
DDI solution are now looking to expand it. The two primary use cases for
this expansion include internal cloud deployments and increased
infrastructure security.”
The report, written by Gartner analysts Andrew Lerner and Christian
Canales, provides recommendations for deploying DDI and evaluates ten
DDI vendors, including Infoblox.
A complimentary copy of the report, released on February 24, 2015, is
available now at www.infoblox.com/gartner.
In looking at the needs of organizations moving to cloud environments,
the report says: “We estimate that roughly 20 percent to 30 percent of
large enterprises are now deploying on-premises production workloads in
a private or hybrid cloud … Thus, some organizations are replacing the
built-in CMP IPAM capabilities with functionality provided by their
pre-existing DDI vendor. This helps to further automate service
provisioning, including IP address management and DNS.”
In looking at the security challenges facing network teams, the report
says: “Due to recent high-profile attacks, organizations are generally
more willing to invest in security solutions. Further, organizations
have increasing concerns over protecting DNS, and many DDI vendors now
provide DNS-based security. Thus, we see an increased interest from
clients in DNS-based security associated with DDI solutions. Security
components such as DNS firewalls now exist in roughly 20 percent to 30
percent of the client deals that Gartner reviews.”
“We are grateful to have Gartner, one of the most influential voices in
IT, validate the need to include enterprise-grade DDI solutions in
successful cloud deployments and for protection of DNS infrastructure,”
said David Gee, chief marketing officer of Infoblox. “Infoblox is an
industry leader in meeting these emerging needs with products such as Infoblox
Cloud Network Automation, Infoblox
DNS Firewall, and Infoblox
Advanced DNS Protection. We encourage everyone involved in managing
and securing enterprise networks to read Gartner’s comprehensive and
insightful report.”
