SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Infoblox, a leader in cloud networking and security services, today unveils its new Universal DDIâ„¢ Product Suite, which enables cohesive DDI management, comprehensive asset visibility, and proactive security by breaking down silos across NetOps, CloudOps, and SecOps while offering the added flexibility of adaptive deployment models. Infoblox is the only company to equip IT and business leaders with this level of cohesive DDI management. Through its set of automation-ready solutions, the Universal DDI Product Suite empowers teams to centrally manage DNS, DHCP, and IP addresses faster and with less effort. These combined capabilities enable customers to maintain centralized control while using a variety of DNS providers, and gain in-depth views and contextual understanding across the entirety of their network through Universal Asset Insights. In addition, this cloud solution uniquely slashes operational costs with a fully SaaS-based deployment model that can be provisioned in minutes.
91%* of global organizations report using two or more cloud service providers to innovate faster, streamline operations, and modernize their workloads. With each new environment, critical network services management grows more complex and compounds the chances of human error. Managing multiple siloed DNS environments increases operational costs and reduces agility. Fragmented IP address management across multiple public clouds and on-premises infrastructure creates IP conflicts, risking network and application outages. Lack of centralized visibility across hybrid clouds leads to higher costs from zombie or orphaned workloads, which can also pose security risks.
"Network architectures must be reimagined for hybrid, multi-cloud deployments to enable companies to move fast with confidence," said Scott Harrell, President and CEO, Infoblox. "At Infoblox, we are reinventing the management, deployment and security of critical network services for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Our mission is to provide NetOps, SecOps, and CloudOps teams with the robust tools they need to achieve unprecedented collaboration—significantly streamlining automation, accelerating application deployment, and dramatically simplifying operations."
Introducing the Game-Changing Universal DDI Product Suite
"The new Universal DDI Product Suite is truly transformational. We've carefully designed a new portal to assist in breaking down operational silos among NetOps, CloudOps, and SecOps teams, helping them make critical business decisions with speed," said Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Infoblox.
The Infoblox Universal DDI Product Suite includes three new offerings:
- Infoblox Universal DDI Management: The industry's first comprehensive solution for simple, unified critical network services management allows customers to accelerate their business operations by streamlining the automation of their cross-cloud DDI environments. With policy-driven network and IP address allocation across the entire hybrid, multi-cloud estate, it improves efficiency and reliability while preventing network outages.
Universal DDI Management's SaaS capabilities enable faster releases and reduce customer maintenance burdens. With the freedom to manage third-party DNS services like Amazon Route 53, Azure DNS, and Google Cloud DNS, it centralizes and dramatically simplifies DNS management.
"The ability to run DHCP in a centralized manner, combined with improved failover mechanisms, is particularly important given the natural disasters Iowa has experienced in recent years," said Todd Burzynski, Supervisor, IT Networks, UnityPoint Health. "This model helps to support our disaster recovery strategy by allowing us to maintain local DNS management while also utilizing cloud-based services. These features are aligned with our ongoing efforts to enhance resilience and ensure continuity of critical operations in the healthcare environment."
- Infoblox Universal Asset Insights: This product offers an unrivaled breadth of discovery sources, giving a unified, comprehensive, and context-rich view of assets across hybrid, multi-cloud environments. By extending DNS and DHCP to IP address management (IPAM), Universal Asset Insights pioneers discovery, analytics, and remediation across an organization's entire digital estate. With continuous updates to the IPAM inventory, organizations can eliminate the need for outdated manual tracking methods prone to errors and delays. Universal Asset Insights also automatically identifies unused IP addresses and zombie workloads, significantly reducing operational expenses and exposure to security risks.
- NIOS-X as a Service: NIOS-X as a Service is purpose-built to extend critical network services as close to users and workloads as possible without requiring customers to deploy any infrastructure, which keeps deployment and operational costs low. It offers the operational simplicity CloudOps teams need, alongside the resilience, consistency, visibility, and security that NetOps and SecOps require. This single solution satisfies the demands of diverse IT operations teams. With NIOS-X as a Service, IT teams can modernize on-premises Microsoft DNS through rapid deployment, streamline multi-cloud DNS by consolidating cloud-native services onto one unified solution, and optimize branch operations with infrastructure-free DNS and DHCP services.
To help IT teams work more effectively together, the Infoblox Universal DDI Product Suite is accessible and managed through a unified Infoblox Portal.
"Infoblox's innovative approach to managing critical network services for hybrid, multi-cloud environments is unmatched by any other vendor today. I believe these DDI solutions will help organizations realize tangible business benefits that will drive operational efficiency, offer faster service delivery, and improve their security posture through DNS-based insights and analytics," said Zeus Kerravala, ZK Research, Founder and Principal Analyst.
To introduce the product suite, Infoblox presented a virtual launch event hosted by Chief Evangelist Cricket Liu. The agenda included:
- Why critical network services need a change from President and CEO Scott Harrell
- How Universal DDI is a breakthrough for the industry from Chief Product Officer Mukesh Gupta
- What Universal DDI does to enable key business outcomes from Infoblox CIO Amy Farrow, in conversation with Western Digital's CIO Sesh Tirumala
- How Omnicom is realizing value with Infoblox, featuring Alex Lopez, North America Network Head at Omnicom Media Group
The presentation is available on demand here.

CANNES, France, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 14 (local time), the Chinese film My World Without Me, directed by Tian Hairong, was screened at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Selected for the International Promotional Screening Unit of the 79th Festival de Cannes, the film garnered warm applause and high praise from audiences around the world, as well as invaluable feedback and insights.

The film was crafted over nearly seven years with exceptional care and dedication. It focuses on the contemporary community of people with hidden depression, conveying love and hope through the quiet spaces of daily life and the gentle light found in ordinary moments. Confronting suffering head-on, the film exemplifies the restrained aesthetics and humanistic warmth characteristic of Chinese realist cinema, offering an Eastern perspective on mental health narratives.
Tian Hairong is a graduate of the Performance Department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and a renowned actress and producer in mainland China. She received the Golden Deer Award for Best Actress at the Changchun International Film Festival for Romantic Girl, the Best Actress award at the Nordic International Film Festival for The Spirit of a Generation: Tang Qunying, and the Best Supporting Actress award at the 12th Macao International Film Festival. Tian expressed her hope that through international platforms such as Cannes, the world will come to feel the warmth and depth of Chinese cinema.
International Recognition
French director Frédéric Oberlin praised the film for using a uniquely Eastern mastery of emotion to deliver silent feelings directly to the heart. Sinologist Luisa Prudentino noted after viewing the film that its sincere emotional core transcends cultural barriers, protecting the dignity of life and becoming a warm thread of empathy connecting different civilizations.
The film is set to continue participating in further international film festivals, using the power of cinema to build bridges of cultural communication and to help Chinese stories reach the world in a manner rich with humanistic care.
