“One of the main advantages BloxOne offered was that we could centrally manage all our DDI instances remotely from the cloud via a single pane of glass. Looking at the competing solutions available, we realized BloxOne DDI would deliver the economic value, functionality and manageability to make it the ideal solution for our needs.”

Cloud-Powered DDI for a Cloud-First World
Organizations of all shapes and sizes rely on the same thing: a reliable, secure, high-performance network that empowers people to work from anywhere. That starts with core network services—DNS, DHCP and IPAM (collectively known as DDI).
BloxOne DDI is the industry’s first DDI solution that enables you to centrally manage and automate DDI from the cloud to any and all locations with unprecedented cost efficiency. Built using cloud-native principles and available as a SaaS service, BloxOne DDI greatly simplifies network management by eliminating the complexity, bottlenecks and scalability limitations of traditional DDI implementations.
Centrally Manage Core Network Services
For large organizations with distributed locations, providing fast and reliable DDI services has never been more crucial. But it’s increasingly difficult to achieve using legacy solutions and server-based approaches. BloxOne DDI eliminates the infrastructure complexity of managing core network services, no matter how many locations you have.
With BloxOne DDI, your distributed enterprises can:
- Get a single point of DDI visibility and control in one easy-to-use interface across the entire enterprise
- Access consolidated views and template-based provisioning to ensure DDI consistency across all locations
- Scale DDI automatically and horizontally as your needs fluctuate

Simplify Network Management and Leverage Cloud Efficiencies
For mid-sized businesses and organizations, limitations in IT personnel and budget constraints pose an ongoing challenge when deploying DDI, especially in distributed locations. Traditional server-based appliances and so-called free DNS solutions are often too cumbersome and labor intensive. Cloud-managed BloxOne DDI enables you to deploy exactly what you need, where you need it, while reining in costs.
With BloxOne DDI, your mid-scale organization can:
- Elastically expand your network to accommodate new devices and IP addresses
- Slash costs associated with DDI appliances, including upfront expenses and maintenance
- Centrally administer all DDI services from the cloud
Modernize Network Services to Move at Cloud Speed
More than most organizations, when your business is born in the cloud, you prefer infrastructure that is cloud native and cloud managed. Chances are, you have no centrally located data center and all of your apps and services live in the cloud. In BloxOne DDI, you get a solution for core network services that precisely matches your cloud-powered operations.
With BloxOne DDI, your cloud-now businesses can:
- Eliminate the need for resource-heavy physical appliances in distributed offices
- Automate provisioning for new applications and services, without human intervention or manual approval
- Get the fast, reliable DDI services that empower DevOps to deploy new SaaS apps and services on demand

End-to-End Benefits for Your Enterprise Network
Simplify and Automate IT
Our cloud-managed solution automates DNS, DHCP and IP address provisioning of remote locations at any scale. It also provides the agile, reliable DDI services that DevOps needs to launch new applications at business speed.
Minimize Downtime with Local Survivability
On-premises BloxOne DDI appliances and virtual/containerized instances provide local DNS resolution and DHCP services. As a result, business operations can continue with minimal or no downtime if a disaster occurs and WAN services are disrupted.
Deliver Better Experiences for End Users
BloxOne DDI directs user traffic from distributed locations to the nearest point of entry in the cloud for SaaS applications. Local resolution of DNS for SaaS endpoints helps ensure a faster, more reliable cloud experience.
Deploy Flexibly and at Lower Cost
BloxOne DDI gives you the flexibility to deploy using physical, virtual and containerized form factors. In addition, consumption-based subscription pricing means that you get a solution that is right-sized for your needs at a predictable cost. Never over-provision again!
Cloud-Enable Your Work-from-Anywhere Organization
Workforce transformation is driving all organizations to support work-from-anywhere scenarios. With BloxOne DDI, you can meet the urgent need to optimize device and app access at the network edge, while simplifying what it takes to manage and scale your network as your needs change.

THE INFOBLOX DIFFERENCE
Incorporating the industry’s leading DDI capabilities, BloxOne DDI is the first and only solution that enables organizations to control and automate on-premises DDI services in all distributed locations from the cloud.
KEY CAPABILITIES
DNS
The DNS server resolves host names to IP addresses. Each software license supports 500 queries per second. In addition, it supports recursion, forwarding and secondary authoritative DNS and DNS server groups and access control list (ACL) templates.
IPAM
IPAM automates planning, tracking and managing the private and public network IP space, devices and associated data.
Elastic Scale
BloxOne DDI can scale by the thousands using any combination of hardware appliances, VMs or containers—all centrally managed. In addition, organizations can add BloxOne DDI appliance licenses one at a time in a site as the local demand for DNS/DHCP capacity dictates.
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
ZTP automates and vastly simplifies the deployment of BloxOne DDI at scale. BloxOne DDI appliances “phone home” to authenticate, download and deploy configurations globally across all remote sites.
DHCP
The DHCP server leases IP addresses. Each software license supports five leases per second. It also supports lease control for efficient use of IP leases.
Flexible Deployment
BloxOne DDI is available as a virtual machine (VM) on VMware and as a container on Docker. A hardware appliance is optionally available for purchase from Infoblox. Its rated capacity is up to 5,000 QPS and 50 LPS.
Extensive APIs
All UI features are supported through a customer-accessible API. API calls are made to the cloud, not directly to BloxOne DDI devices. User credentials are necessary to access the API and corresponding permissions apply.
