Infoblox has completed its acquisition of Kentik, a leader in network intelligence and observability. This will bring real-time traffic visibility, performance monitoring, path intelligence and AI-guided operations directly into the Infoblox Platform.
What Kentik Adds
Kentik gives teams the live operational view they have been missing. Its AI-powered capabilities include:
- Real-time flow and traffic analytics across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Network performance monitoring and synthetic testing
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing intelligence and path visibility
- AI-guided workflows that help teams move from signal to answer to action
Why This Matters for You
Infoblox knows what is on your network: every device, every DNS request, every asset and whether a destination is risky. Kentik shows what is actually happening: how traffic moves, where performance changed and how the experience is impacted.
Together, you get the complete picture in one place:
- Stronger security evidence. A device reaches a suspicious domain. Infoblox sees the intent. Kentik maps everything that device touched next. You see the full blast radius in seconds, not hours.
- Faster root-cause analysis. Something breaks. Instead of guessing whether the issue is configuration, routing, congestion or a failed device, your team sees both what should be happening and what is happening, side by side.
- Better automation outcomes. AI and automation tools finally have a single, trusted data foundation to draw from. Decisions are grounded in complete network truth, not fragmented datasets.
By combining authoritative DNS context, asset visibility and preemptive security with live network observability, we are creating the trusted data foundation that AI-driven operations require. Through open standards like Infoblox Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, this combined intelligence connects to the AI and orchestration tools you already use.
