SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Infoblox
Inc., the leader in Secure Cloud-Managed Network Services, today
announces updates to its award-winning Network Identity Operating
System (NIOS). This latest release provides customers DoT/DoH
support for advanced security, additional cloud integrations and
DevOps automation, DDI enhancements, and extended service provider
capabilities. The update enables organizations to extend
visibility, reliability and security across on-premises and cloud
networks, which accelerates their workplace transformation.
For a year now, organizations have expanded their networks into
hybrid and multi-cloud environments to enable business operations
during the COVID-19 disruptions. NIOS 8.4.8, 8.5.2, and 8.6 gives
network administrators the tools they need to manage the
complexities of the cloud-first network. This latest NIOS release
addresses the challenges by providing:
- Advanced enterprise security through DoT/DoH support to
encrypt communications between a DNS client and its local DNS
server. This helps prevent DNS-based attacks and forgeries and
blocks encrypted communications to unauthorized external DNS
servers. Additionally, FIPS 140-2 Level 2 enhancements provide
role-based authentication and anti-tampering safeguards.
- Increased multi-cloud integrations and more DevOps
flexibility and automation for Amazon Web Services, Google
Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Cisco ISE, ACI, Meraki
and Viptela, Red Hat OpenShift and VMWare. Infoblox APIs and
templated integrations give DevOps teams the ability to quickly
deploy hybrid multi-cloud networks with simplicity, automation and
cost savings.
- Stronger DDI through improved DNS resolution, DNS
scavenging, physical and virtual appliance pairings, and Anycast
configuration. These advancements improve visibility, reliability,
and performance across an organization's hybrid
environments.
- More service provider capabilities for privacy, security and
control. Service providers will be able to leverage DoT/DoH at
scale, enforce security policies for virtual DNS Cache Acceleration
(vDCA), and enable URL filtering to send only the traffic of the
relevant domains to the managed services provider for
inspection.
"The network continues to shift cloud-first to accommodate
business continuity during the COVID-19 adjustments," says
Dave Signori, VP of Product
Management, at Infoblox. "We're using our market leading DDI
expertise to help customers securely extend their on-premises
networks into cloud environments. In developing these NIOS
features, we prioritized customer feedback to deliver what
customers need for their workplace transformation
journeys."
The buzz from Infoblox customers:
Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center uses NIOS to
scale its DDI services with the property's physical expansion into
the second largest hotel in Florida.

Paddy Power Betfair uses NIOS to handle traffic spikes
during sporting events, which has helped the company grow market
share in the competitive world of online gaming.
- "Where our Infoblox solution has really made a positive
contribution to the business is, first, in allowing us to
accommodate growth—we've expanded by leaps and bounds over the past
five years—and second, by enabling us to automate key networking
operations."—Gianlorenzo Cipparrone, Deliver Manager for Systems
Management
Rabobank, one of the 50 largest banks in the world, uses NIOS to
simplify its massive network, ensuring employees and users
