Here is a real-world example:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Department of Transportation of a Southeastern State in the United States Embraces Cloud First Principle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Department of Transportation of a Southeastern State in the United States faced significant challenges with network management silos in their hybrid, multi-cloud environment. With disparate systems, they lacked visibility across multiple DNS providers\u2014AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Microsoft for on-premises. They relied on Microsoft Excel and native solutions for IPAM, which was ineffective and hindered their ability to manage and secure their network infrastructure effectively. With the cloud-first initiative, they wanted to consolidate the data centers and move the workloads to the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The customer selected Universal DDI Product Suite to provide a unified platform for managing DNS, DHCP and IPAM across their hybrid, multi-cloud environment. With Universal DDI, the customer achieves:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-spacing\">\n<li>Centralized SaaS-managed DDI management across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud<\/li>\n<li>Accurate IPAM and comprehensive visibility with Universal Asset Insights<\/li>\n<li>Data center consolidation and migration of Microsoft on-premises DNS to NIOS-X Virtual Server in the cloud<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Next Steps<\/h3>\n<p>Want to dive deeper into any of these updates?
