Centralize visibility and DNS, DHCP, and IP address management

Centralize visibility and DNS, DHCP, and IP address management

Users can avoid “swivel chair” monitoring of multi-vendor DNS and DHCP environments by using a centralized management console. The integrated and unified dashboard IPAM offers can provide valuable resources to track IP address usage, including top-ten DHCP subnet/scopes by utilization and IP address conflicts.

IP Address Manager can also automatically identify mismatches in DNS forward and reverse record entries. With disparities in records flagged, IPAM helps empower users to resolve issues more quickly and efficiently.

Intelligently designed tools remove complexity and add functionality for improved DNS management

Intelligently designed tools remove complexity and add functionality for improved DNS management

Enable improved monitoring and management for your DNS operations without having to bounce around multiple solutions. Set up DNS zones and zone transfers to ensure server availability in the event of a failure, facilitate DNS troubleshooting (e.g., record mismatching), and control collaboration with administrative permission support for WMI and BIND. These built-in capabilities enable users to reduce the complexities of DDI in networking and more confidently oversee their environment.

Instant alerts and a detailed dashboard expedite DHCP and DNS troubleshooting and reduce downtime

Instant alerts and a detailed dashboard expedite DHCP and DNS troubleshooting and reduce downtime

Network downtime can be costly from both a time and monetary perspective. With IPAM, users can instantly be alerted to issues such as IP address conflicts and quickly assess the problem using an intuitive, detailed interface designed to display all routing domains. Rather than spending excess time hunting down the information you need or swapping between different DDI solutions to resolve connectivity issues, use a single tool to get the job done.

  • What is a DDI solution?

    DDI is the combination of three network services: DNS, DHCP, and IP address management. Though these three services have their separate purposes, integrating them adds to their power. DDI gives administrators better oversight over their network and the web of IP addresses and devices connecting to it daily.

    Domain Name System (DNS): DNS is a naming system built to translate domain names (hostnames) into IP addresses, allowing users to enter the domain name rather than the machine-readable IP address into a browser.

    Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): DHCP is a protocol assigning an IP address to a device on a network. This enables multiple devices on a network to communicate with one another and ensure data gets sent to the correct location.

    Internet Protocol (IP) Address Management: IP address management is a method for planning, tracking, and organizing IP address information within a network. Its tasks include managing DNS and DHCP servers and blocking IP address conflicts.

    The growing complexity and volume of networks today have rendered the manual assigning and managing of IP addresses obsolete and ineffective. Rather than network admins dedicating time to maintaining worksheets, DDI solutions can streamline the monitoring, regulation, and troubleshooting of IP resources and conflicts.

    DDI solutions centralize the management of the three network services under one tool, enabling IT admins and their organizations to more effectively manage IP resources and reduce cost.

  • How can your network benefit from using a DDI solution?

    Managing a network for a modern organization looks much different than it used to. With developments such as cloud migrations and remote access, enterprises need a scalable, more productive way to provision and manage massive pools of IP addresses. Comprehensive DDI solutions are the answer to navigating the challenges of a complex network infrastructure.

    DDI solutions can benefit your network by doing the following:

    Consolidating tools and services: One of the main benefits of using DDI in networking is it allows you to control IP address management, DHCP, and DNS resources using a single user-oriented platform. This approach makes IP address data easier to access, analyze, configure, and provision.

    Reducing errors: Manually tracking IP information using outdated spreadsheets or software not intended for the purpose can quickly lead to costly mistakes. With features such as automated IP address scanning and instant alerting, you can avoid IP address conflicts and promptly resolve.

    Improving operating costs: A high-quality DDI solution should offer additional automation and functionality to enhance network management. Effective solutions can optimize workflows, speed up troubleshooting, reduce maintenance time, and more, giving more time back to admins and reducing operating costs.

    Enhancing scalability: As an enterprise grows, it needs to have a system in place to keep up with the demand of an ever-expanding network. The right DDI tool will not only improve your organization's real-time network management but scale with you as your needs change.
