As organizations expand across private cloud, public cloud, and managed services, network identity management becomes fragmented. Teams manage DNS, DHCP, and IP addresses in separate silos with manual processes, creating security gaps and operational inefficiency that undermine zero-trust initiatives.
Zero-trust networking requires knowing exactly which identities exist on your network and enforcing policies based on those identities. Without a unified identity layer, security policies remain incomplete.
Global Network Identities provides the common resource framework that standardizes identity creation and captures intent across your entire environment.
Network identifiers spread across multiple clouds and on-premises environments create blind spots. Teams cannot enforce consistent policies when they lack a single source of truth.
Global Network Identities unifies disparate silos of network identifiers into a single platform with visibility across all deployment environments.
Managing DNS, DHCP, and IPAM manually across multiple environments is slow and error-prone. Change windows take too long and introduce risk.
Global Network Identities automates network identity provisioning through customizable workflows, enabling fast, reliable, and secure change windows.
Orchestrates DNS, DHCP, and IPAM capabilities across existing enterprise, public cloud, and managed solutions from a single platform.
Eliminates the need to manage network identifiers separately in each environment, reducing complexity and improving consistency.
Provides a common resource model that standardizes how network identities are created, managed, and used for security policy enforcement.
Enables organizations to accelerate zero-trust adoption by tying network access to verified identities rather than IP addresses alone.
An API-first architecture integrates with existing business processes, tooling, and workflows. Automate network identity provisioning across the lifecycle of business intent.
Customizable workflows eliminate manual arbitration across teams and ensure changes are fast, reliable, and auditable.
Organizations running workloads across private cloud, public cloud, and managed services need consistent network identity management. Without a unified approach, each environment becomes an identity silo with its own tools and processes.
Global Network Identities automates network identity creation across all cloud environments. Built-in multi-tenancy enables management of overlapping identities without conflict.
SD-WAN migrations require full visibility into existing address space, DHCP, DNS, and circuit usage. Without this visibility, migrations introduce risk and operational disruption.
Global Network Identities provides the visibility and automation needed to simplify disparate DDI solutions by migrating to a common operating model for remote sites and work-from-home users.
Telcos and service providers need to provision complex network identities at scale while reducing operational complexity and costs. Manual provisioning slows service delivery and introduces errors.
Global Network Identities offers a vast connector library that enables control, interaction, and automation of infrastructure services through a unified interface. The flexible provisioning approach accelerates service delivery and reduces network complexity.
VMware Global Network Identities is a unified network services platform that orchestrates DNS, DHCP, and IPAM capabilities across enterprise, public cloud, and managed solutions. It provides a common resource model for implementing identity-based zero-trust security across multi-cloud environments.
Global Network Identities provides the identity layer that zero-trust architectures require. It standardizes how network identities are created and managed, enabling policy enforcement based on verified identities rather than network location.
This creates a foundation for consistent security policies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Yes. Global Network Identities complements VMware NSX by providing the network identity management layer. NSX handles micro-segmentation and network virtualization, while Global Network Identities manages the identity framework that informs those policies.
Together they enable identity-aware security across the software-defined data center.
Global Network Identities supports enterprise on-premises, public cloud, and managed service provider environments. Built-in multi-tenancy enables organizations to manage overlapping network identities across all of these environments from a single platform.
Global Network Identities uses a flexible licensing model that scales with your organization's needs. Pricing depends on environment size, the number of managed network identifiers, and deployment scope.
