The Global DDI Company
No IP = No Business The Challenges Dramatically growth of applications and services available on networks Exponential growth of devices connected to networks IP infrastructure is a key support of Enterprise changes Merge, acquisition, extension, and relocation No IP = No Business
The Challenges On top of service criticality, drastically increase of IP address life-cycle complexity ! More devices with more services More security rules, with more exceptions to the rules More dynamic connections for more user mobility High intimacy between DNS, DHCP and IPAM services More management tasks to plan, deploy, control and reconcile Consequences ? 50% of +1,000 employees companies faced network outages DNS or DHCP High average annual management costs per IP address at $8,68 “If this problem continued to be ignored organizations face an unacceptable situation: increased downtime, additional security events, burdensome operations, and increasing costs”, ESG, feb 2009
71% of companies have no solution Standard Solution 75% of DNS and DHCP services in use are based on Open source software (Bind, ISC) Microsoft® Windows Server IPAM tools in use 71% of companies have no solution
Why Current DNS-DHCP Solutions Are Not Enough? No built-in DNS-DHCP services continuity and disaster recovery functionality No advanced security mechanisms to protect data integrity and ensure service availability No unified and automated management DNS and DHCP services are unitary and separately managed No IP address management functionalities Limited audit trails for quality and security control
EfficientiP DDI Solutions Managing the global life-cycle of DDI resources Plan Deploy Control Reconcile Visibility Modeling Policies Automation Delegate Monitor Metadata Continuity Discover Analysis Alerts Reports
EfficientiP Solutions Centralized management of IP plans and remote DNS-DHCP servers Security, availability and performance of DNS and DHCP servers
Key Benefits High Availability Security Management Visibility Automated failover management Built-in disaster recovery mechanisms Security System: Hardened OS, easy and fast update process Deny of service attack protections IP address connection tracking: Where, When and Which IP/MAC address are connected? Management Unified and automated management One tool, one single process to manage IPAM-DNS-DHCP Overall consistency control to eliminate conflicting configurations Conformity management Define and enforce automatically DDI policies (IP address naming convention) Metadata management (e.g. location, serial number) Granular role based delegation Visibility Single repository to consolidate DDI data Real time access to the DDI information with advanced monitoring, reports, and statistics Access to the information with user-defined search criteria (metadata)
