DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationEmpower Zero Touch NFV & SDN with DDI AutomationTwo different worlds are merging – ISP and Telcos – bringing requirements for innovative digital transformation projects. As a consequence, deployment of new network foundations and architectures including SDN (Software Defined Network), NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) and 5G is now becoming reality. Thanks to ETSI, 5G networks will bring slices for various requirements such as connected devices for IoT, reliable traffic for autonomous vehicles, and high bandwidth to serve new usage of mobiles. Building these 5G slices requires configuration of...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudCloud Automation: How to Use EfficientIP Terraform DDI ProviderInfrastructure is moving to the cloud, private or public, because of its ability to be elastic, programmable and in some cases cheaper. Multi-cloud today tends to be the standard way of building application bases, and automation and software-defined are the new paradigm for helping businesses in their digital transformation. In the same way, development teams are using specific development frameworks for their applications to improve quality, efficiency and reusability of the software components, and operations teams are relying on orchestration...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudWhat Smart DDI Means for Hybrid Clouds in Asia PacificThis week’s blog comes to us from our very own Nick Itta, VP Sales APAC. The growth of Asia’s digital economy is happening at breakneck speed, boosted by a high level of interconnected networks comprised of organisations and consumers. With a massive amount of IT infrastructure supporting the backend, organisations are striking a balance between managing data on private IT infrastructure or in public/private clouds, finding a middle ground referred to as the Hybrid Cloud. As business needs evolve given...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationEfficientIP DDI Brings IP Golden Records for Cisco ACI SDN SolutionCisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) brings to data centers a new integrated way of building networks and linking applications to users. The EfficientIP SOLIDserver communicates with the API proposed by the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in order to maintain a coherent view of the network overlay directly inside EfficientIP’s IPAM (IP Address Management) software, thus consolidating the repository of IP golden records. In an automation process designed to provision everything required for user to application communication, from the...
DNSDNS SecurityWorried About DNS Hijacking? DNSSEC Can HelpMost of the time, DNS is seen as a commodity, but the service it provides on the Internet and within enterprise networks is so crucial that any interruption will have huge impacts. In recent weeks there’s been a lot of news about DNS hijacking and massive attacks on institutional organizations. As a consequence, various pieces of advice have been offered by different media outlets, ranging from purely technical to mainstream public media. But when trying to explain DNS hijacking to...
DDIIPAMServiceNow Integration with EfficientIP: Reducing complexity for network managementIT service groups are increasingly using ITSM (IT Service Management) solutions to initiate and track internal service requests. At the same time, the ITSM editors themselves are now incorporating automation tools, for allowing customers to automate tasks to expose as a catalogue of services. Within any IT service automation workflow, IPAM (IP Address management) is a key process. So it brings tremendous benefits if a company integrates ITSM to the IPAM component of their DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM). As the API of...
