Infoblox announced a new integration between its Universal IP Address Management (Universal IPAM) platform and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud IP Address Manager (Amazon VPC IPAM). The company revealed that the update supports Hybrid cloud operations by speeding up application rollouts and updates through automated IP address management across on-premises systems and AWS. It also reported that the integration helps NetOps teams maintain essential controls while giving CloudOps teams faster access to IP address blocks for efficient deployments.

Enterprises adopting hybrid cloud strategies often face challenges managing separate IP systems across diverse environments. As a result, synchronized IP address management improves operations, prevents overlapping IP assignments and avoids outages or delays in service delivery. Improved visibility helps identify conflicts, while automation reduces human error and speeds up provisioning. The new integration aims to address these challenges by enabling seamless synchronization from Amazon VPC IPAM to Universal IPAM and eliminating IP conflicts.

Key benefits reported include:
• Enabling cross-team collaboration by allowing CloudOps teams to request IPv4 address blocks directly from Infoblox through AWS interfaces, while NetOps teams retain centralized control via the Infoblox Portal.
• Unlocking enhanced visibility into IPv4 address assignments for more efficient resource allocation across on-premises and AWS environments.
• Avoiding costly outages by automatically validating IPv4 blocks for uniqueness before assigning them to AWS to prevent conflicts across hybrid cloud networks.

Mukesh Gupta, chief product officer at Infoblox, said the integration responds to a major operational bottleneck in hybrid cloud environments. He explained that aligning NetOps and CloudOps helps reduce outages and accelerates cloud adoption. He added that the update supports unifying on-premises and cloud systems so IT teams can focus on development rather than troubleshooting
