ConnectMyAssets vs Infoblox NetMRI
Infoblox NetMRI has reached end of life. If your organization is running NetMRI, you are on borrowed time, frozen vendor support, no new features, and an approaching end-of-support date. This page gives you an honest comparison of where NetMRI served you well and what ConnectMyAssets provides as a modern replacement.
Infoblox has announced end of sale and end of life for NetMRI. Existing customers should plan their migration before support ends.

Migration Path from NetMRI
Export Your NetMRI Inventory & History
Export your device list and configuration snapshots from NetMRI before the support deadline. ConnectMyAssets accepts CSV device imports and can ingest NetMRI configuration exports, mapping each device to the correct vendor driver. Your historical configurations are preserved and available from day one in ConnectMyAssets.
Deploy ConnectMyAssets in Parallel
Deploy the ConnectMyAssets appliance on your infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, or equivalent), which typically takes a few hours, while NetMRI is still running. Configure your devices in ConnectMyAssets and let both platforms run simultaneously for a transition period. This ensures continuity and gives your team time to validate coverage before cutting over fully.
Validate, Cut Over & Decommission
Once ConnectMyAssets is backing up all devices and your team is operational on the new platform, decommission NetMRI. Our Professional Services team provides migration support for complex environments, including custom integration work, compliance framework setup, and team training to ensure your organization is fully operational on day one.
