The Infoblox Universal DDI integration with Google’s Cloud WAN allows organizations to quickly deploy Universal DDI’s NIOS-X as a Service with ease. Infoblox Universal DDI for Google’s Cloud WAN provides infrastructure-free DNS and DHCP services, anywhere in the world, tightly integrated with the Google Cloud Cross-Cloud Network. The combination provides enterprises modernizing their infrastructure with enhanced performance, resiliency and scale across the globe.

These integrated services greatly simplify infrastructure deployment and management, reducing total cost of ownership while helping to ensure the efficient delivery of applications, workloads and services to branches, data centers and users worldwide. This fully integrated, centrally managed solution unifies enterprise backbones, SD-WANs and enterprise-grade critical network services. And, when combined with Infoblox security offerings, Infoblox Universal DDI can be used as a single interception point to deploy consistent security policies across an entire hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Infoblox Universal DDI for Google’s Cloud WAN is available in the Google Cloud Marketplace.

DNS Armor, powered by Infoblox

DNS Armor from Google Cloud leverages Infoblox’s deep expertise in protective DNS and DNS-centric threat intelligence to secure cloud workloads, delivering simplified, scalable threat detection. The solution provides enhanced and preemptive security designed to integrate seamlessly without increasing operational complexity. It allows customers to inspect DNS communications for malicious activity, such as ransomware, command and control, data exfiltration, Zero Day DNS threats, domain generation algorithms and more.

Infoblox’s technology powers the DNS Armor service, and customers can activate and configure DNS threat detection directly on the Google Cloud console. Administrators can monitor DNS queries and access real-time DNS threat logs that enable early threat detection and a proactive security posture. DNS Armor can detect attacks 63 days before other solutions. The solution is easy for any Google Cloud customer to activate within the Google Cloud console.

“As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the collaboration between Infoblox and Google Cloud delivers a game-changing approach to network security,” said Bob Walker, senior domain network engineer, Lloyds Banking Group. “Google Cloud’s DNS Armor, powered by Infoblox, harnesses the best of both technologies—cutting-edge DNS threat intelligence and scalable cloud architecture—to provide enterprises with robust protection against emerging threats.”

“Infoblox powers Google Cloud’s DNS Armor with intelligence beyond just a DNS block list—tracking activity of potential adversaries to uncover and flag every corner of their malicious network,” said Chris Kissel, research vice president, security and trust, IDC. “The first challenge to cybersecurity is it’s typically reactive, and DNS Armor, powered by Infoblox, provides a preemptive solution to securing cloud workloads that doesn’t add additional complexity or compute.”

Huawei Cloud Launches Agentic Infrastructure and CodeArts Agent OBT in Thailand, Accelerating Enterprise AI Innovation

Published

on

By

BANGKOK, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei Cloud hosted Huawei Cloud Summit Thailand 2026, bringing together leaders from government, business, industry partners, and the technology community to exchange views on how cloud and AI can support Thailand’s digital economy. During the event, Huawei Cloud announced “Huawei Cloud Agentic Infrastructure: Now Available for Thailand” and officially launched Huawei Cloud CodeArts Agent Open Beta Testing (OBT) in the country.

Mr. Sunny Shang, President of Huawei Cloud APAC, outlined the company’s commitment to working with customers and partners to build an AI-driven digital future for Thailand. Regarding the government’s direction, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society emphasized the acceleration of digital transformation through national AI policies, public-sector adoption, and stronger public-private collaboration.

The public-sector highlighted how AI can improve government operations and make public services faster and more convenient. NECTEC also presented a Government AI case study covering the development of AI infrastructure and platforms, as well as AI chatbots and intelligent assistants designed to support government officials and improve services for citizens.

Building the Foundation for the Agentic AI Era

Mr. Surasak Wanichwatphibun, CTO of Huawei Cloud Thailand said Huawei Cloud will continue to strengthen its technological capabilities and build a robust computing infrastructure to drive AI innovation across enterprises.

At the center of the announcement is Agentic Infra, a new infrastructure designed specifically for developing and deploying AI agents. It supports efficient token generation, unified scheduling of general-purpose and AI computing resources, continuous learning, and secure and autonomous agent operations.

Mr. Surasak introduced four new features under Agentic Infra:

UnifiedBus-based AI Cluster Service (AICS), which supports highly efficient token generationAgentic Memory Storage Service (AMS), which delivers PB-scale memory storage to address a key bottleneck in agent memory, enabling long-horizon tasks and facilitating continuous learning.AgentSphere, which offers a secure and autonomous runtime environment for AI agentsCCE VolcanoNext, which enables unified scheduling of general-purpose and AI computing resources

CodeArts Agent OBT Launches in Thailand

Another major highlight was the launch of Huawei Cloud CodeArts Agent OBT in Thailand, giving local developers and enterprises an opportunity to experience Huawei Cloud’s coding agent and provide feedback before its wider release.

CodeArts Agent combines IDE functionality, autonomous development capabilities, and coding models. It supports project-level code generation, code completion, R&D knowledge Q&A, and unit test case generation.

The platform also applies Specification-Driven Development (SDD) to help development teams maintain code quality from the requirements stage through to final delivery.

It is worth mentioning that this release also introduces the Agent Team mode, which can automatically form a development team, enabling multiple agents to collaborate concurrently and execute tasks simultaneously.

By reducing repetitive tasks, CodeArts Agent can help developers work more efficiently and allow organizations to bring digital products and services to market faster.

The OBT launch forms part of Huawei Cloud’s efforts to support Thailand’s developer community and make AI-assisted software development more accessible to organizations of different sizes.

Strengthening Security for Enterprise AI

Mr. Surasak also emphasized security, stability, and quality as key priorities for enterprise AI adoption. As cyberattacks become increasingly automated and AI-driven, Huawei Cloud has upgraded its security services in two areas: protecting AI systems and using AI to strengthen cyber defense.

Its model lifecycle security solution covers AI infrastructure, training data, model inference, and agent applications.

For enterprises concerned about data sovereignty and privacy, Huawei Cloud provides dedicated security zones that allow customers to independently manage their encryption keys while preventing platform administrators from accessing customer data. Software-hardware integration and hardware acceleration are also used to maintain encryption performance without compromising service efficiency. Huawei Cloud has also introduced Data Capsule technology, which ensures that data can only be used within authorized environments and automatically becomes invalid if moved outside a designated security zone.

Showcasing AI Use Cases Across Industries

Huawei Cloud Summit Thailand 2026 also featured AI and cloud use cases from organizations in Thailand. These included the development of AI platforms and intelligent assistants for the public sector, the use of AI coding and large language models in banking, and AI-powered learning and skills development platforms for the HR sector.

Huawei Cloud and its partners also shared how ecosystem collaboration can help solve industry challenges and accelerate AI adoption among enterprises.
