Need DDI In the Cloud? Infoblox is Now on Network Edge
Hey everyone—just popping in with some exciting news for those of you building out your virtual networking environments! Infoblox NIOS DDI is now available on Equinix Network Edge 🙌 That means you now have another core piece of your networking stack—DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM)—available as a virtual networking function alongside firewalls, routers, SD-WAN, and more. What this unlocks for you? Whether you’re working across hybrid or multi-cloud environments, having your full stack available virtually means you can deploy faster, scale smarter, and keep everything centralized—all without touching hardware. Already using Infoblox on-prem? You can now extend those services to the cloud and manage everything through Network Edge. Need better automation? Infoblox helps eliminate manual IPAM tasks and streamlines network provisioning. Focused on security? Built-in Protective DNS helps block threats before they reach your network. Building for scale? Combine Infoblox with other Network Edge VNFs for a complete, cloud-ready networking solution. And yes—it’s available to deploy via the portal, APIs, or Terraform, so you can integrate it however you work best. 👉 Check out the blog post here if you want a deeper dive or to explore use cases.
