SANTA
CLARA, Calif., April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Infoblox Inc., a leader in
cloud networking and security services, has revealed that companies
with the most mature approach to hybrid, multi-cloud operations
typically cut their enterprise cloud costs by 22% as stated in the
newly released report from ESG, commissioned by Infoblox, 'Hybrid,
Multi-cloud Management Maturity - How Leaders Tame Complexity,
Increase Efficiency, and Innovate at the Speed of
Business.' The report explores how mature businesses structure
their network and security teams, as well as the tools they deploy,
in order to tame complexity and increase efficiency in multi-cloud
environments. These cost optimizations are achieved through the
unification of network, security, and cloud operations, as well as
the deployment of innovative network automation and DNS-based
security solutions - a topic that showcases Infoblox's core
expertise and underscores the company's strategic impact regarding
customer cloud journeys.
An additional Economic Validation Report, published by
Enterprise Strategy Group and commissioned by Infoblox, delves
deeper into the experiences of Infoblox customers.
Titled 'Analyzing the Economic Benefits of Infoblox Networking
and Security Management in a Multi-cloud Environment,' this report
reveals that users of Infoblox solutions achieve an average
return on investment (ROI) of 334%.
This includes:
- a 75% increase in operational
efficiency4
- the ability to operate effectively with a 19% smaller
workforce
- a reduction of 79% in operational
costs5
Shedding a light on the pivotal role that advanced cloud
management practices play in driving business success, the main
research reveals the distinct drivers, all companies that are
successful in the cloud, have in common. It aims to empower IT
decision-makers with the knowledge required to make informed
choices that align with their technical and business objectives,
ultimately fostering innovation and a competitive advantage in a
rapidly evolving digital marketplace.
The research, which includes insights from 1,000 key
decision-makers and influencers, outlines four key characteristics
that successful hybrid multi-cloud enterprises
share6:
- Convergence of network, security, and cloud operations into
a unified operations center. Almost 9 in ten (88%) have
increased the frequency with which these teams meet, and 85% have
taken steps to align their goals and key performance indicators
(KPIs).
- Employing cloud-neutral network and security tools.
Almost all (97%) leverage cloud-neutral domain name system (DNS),
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), and IP address
management (IPAM) solutions.
- Embracing DNS as a highly valuable cloud security
solution. Nearly 80% use DNS extensively in security incident
investigations, 77% use it to detect and block malware, and 75% use
it as a data loss prevention (DLP) mechanism.
- Enabling automation holistically in cloud operations.
This spans both network and security workflows, including areas
like resource provisioning, anomaly detection, asset discovery, and
audit reporting.
"At Infoblox we understand that the convergence of networking,
security, and cloud operations is not just a trend, but a strategic
imperative," said Scott Harrell,
President and CEO, Infoblox. "Our 25-year history of DNS innovation
underscores our commitment to this unified approach. Our platform
empowers companies to accelerate application deployments and
provide asset visibility across hybrid cloud environments while
achieving significant cost reductions and simplification through
automation."
