Infoblox’s recent announcement regarding the end-of-life (EOL) of NetMRI marks a pivotal moment for organizations that have relied on this solution for their network change and configuration management (NCCM) strategies. With NetMRI support scheduled to sunset in April 2027, it is essential to start evaluating your options now to ensure continuity, compliance, and efficiency well into the future.

At Empowered Networks, we have worked closely with Infoblox for over 14 years, serving as their leading NetMRI partner and trusted collaborator across the broader Infoblox ecosystem. Having supported some of the largest enterprise environments, we understand the complexity of NCCM landscapes and the importance of selecting the right tools to meet both immediate needs and long-term goals.

An Intelligent Transition Plan

One of the solutions many organizations are considering is ENCOMPASS by Empowered Networks. ENCOMPASS addresses the evolving challenges of NCCM by simplifying configuration change processes, reducing manual workloads, and delivering visibility across hybrid, multi-vendor environments. It brings together automated compliance checks, vulnerability insights, and streamlined device lifecycle management to reduce risk and strengthen security posture while ensuring operations stay scalable and audit-ready.

We also recognize that no two network environments are the same. While ENCOMPASS offers a comprehensive path forward for many organizations, every transition strategy requires careful consideration. Our team works closely with you to assess your current environment and long-term goals, ensuring the right combination of tools, services, and processes are in place to support ongoing operational success.
