DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (IPAM), collectively known as DDI, are foundational to every enterprise network. So is SD-WAN. Yet for most organizations, these two critical layers have never talked to each other, leaving IT teams to manually configure branch connections, manage failover by hand, and troubleshoot IP conflicts without a unified view.
That gap has a cost. At scale, manual DDI management creates configuration errors, slow incident recovery, and address conflicts that are hard to diagnose before users feel the impact.
Versa Networks and Infoblox have built a native API-based integration that closes this gap. This is achieved by automating the connection between SD-WAN branches and DDI services, enabling automatic failover, and delivering unified IP visibility across the enterprise.
The Problem: SD-WAN and DDI Operate in Silos
When SD-WAN and DDI solutions are deployed independently, three operational problems emerge.
Branch connectivity is manual. Each branch office must be individually configured to connect to the nearest DDI service. There is no automation, no templates, no rinse and repeat. At hundreds or thousands of sites, this is a significant operational complexity and a significant source of mistakes.
Failover is not automatic. When DDI services span regions and a primary region fails, branches have no mechanism to redirect themselves to a backup. The result is slower recovery and extended downtime while the team scrambles to respond.
IP visibility is fragmented. When branch IP addresses change, DDI systems may not reflect that immediately. Without a single authoritative view of what is allocated, what is in use, and how it is configured, conflicts are difficult to diagnose and slow to resolve.
What the Integration Delivers
The Versa and Infoblox integration addresses all three problems through a five-step workflow: discover, select, configure, connect, and operate.
Automated, template-driven branch connectivity. Versa SD-WAN branches are automatically discovered and mapped. Infoblox Universal DDI Management automatically provisions DNS, DHCP, and IPAM configurations to Versa appliances through a secure channel, eliminating manual configuration entirely. A new branch is connected and operational in a single repeatable workflow, regardless of whether you are deploying ten sites or ten thousand.
Built-in resilience without human intervention. Versa SD-WAN and Infoblox Universal DDI Management are architected for continuous availability. DDI services are delivered through redundant primary and secondary endpoints. If a branch path to one endpoint is ever disrupted, Versa SD-WAN automatically directs the branch to the next available endpoint, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Service continuity is maintained, and the operational team is notified rather than mobilized.
Unified IP visibility. The integration delivers a single, real-time view of IP address space across the enterprise: what is allocated, what is in use, and how it is configured. Conflicts are easier to find and fix because both teams are working from the same data, not reconciling two separate systems.
Why Versa and Infoblox
Both Versa and Infoblox are recognized as category leaders. Versa is an analyst-validated leader in unified SASE. Infoblox is the category-defining DDI vendor, holding more than 53% of the worldwide DDI market per IDC, over three times the nearest competitor in DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management.
The native integration is more capable than what any other SD-WAN or DDI vendor combination can offer, allowing branches to connect to the solution without the custom integration work other SD-WAN and DDI pairings require. The automated, DDI region-aware, template-driven workflow is unique to this partnership.
For infrastructure leaders who have already standardized on both platforms, the integration does not require rearchitecting either environment. It connects what is already there, automates what has been done manually, and surfaces what has been invisible.
