Discovery and Analysis for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Visibility with Infoblox Universal Asset Insights
Organizations continue to adopt cloud strategies and are challenged by the mix of disparate systems for managing network services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, partner networks and a multitude of underlying physical devices. The absence of centralized visibility exacerbates these challenges, resulting in a lack of awareness of what is on the network, what is happening on the network and who is responsible for it.
Limited visibility into subnets and other network resources provisioned can lead to misconfigurations and outages. Manually tracking the IP addresses and resources using spreadsheets or other in-house tools can lead to visibility gaps or resource conflicts, resulting in longer troubleshooting times and the inability to manage growing environments at scale.
Lack of centralized visibility across hybrid networks is also a security risk. Cloud sprawl is a significant issue for organizations, and the inability to track what is on the network and its usage can result in undiscovered zombie assets and orphaned resources and services, leading to increased costs or exploitation by malicious actors.
Universal Asset Insights automates the discovery and analysis of IP-based and non-IP-based assets across public clouds, on-premises networks, IoT/OT devices and third-party applications and keeps IP address management (IPAM) updated without manual intervention. The expanded asset discovery provides unparalleled, contextualized and near–real-time visibility into the extensive on-premises assets and multi-cloud network assets. Combined with Infoblox critical network services, including DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI), Universal Asset Insights enhances the scope of network visibility and accuracy of IPAM. NetOps, CloudOps and SecOps now have a trusted infrastructure-wide central repository of assets and connectivity details, which improves network visibility, network automation, operational efficiency and contextual awareness across the entire environment.
We’ll also demonstrate how Infoblox Universal Asset Insights helps identify and remediate zombie assets across multi-cloud networks.
