DDIDHCPDNSIPAMSOLIDserver NOT Impacted by Log4j Security VulnerabilityThe EfficientIP SOLIDserver Solution is not affected by the security vulnerability described in the CVE-2021-44228 as it does not in any way use the Apache Log4j library. Following publicity around the Apache Log4j security vulnerability last week-end we have received a lot of calls from customers, partners and community friends asking about the possible impact on our DDI solution, especially on the API endpoint that may be used in all IT automation as the IPAM is the central source of...
DDIDHCPDNSImproving I&O Efficiency with DNS and DHCP Services in ContainersRunning applications, components and services in containers is particularly interesting with regards to the ease of deployment, the level of isolation and the topologies authorized through some modern architecture models. DNS and DHCP services, considered Core Network Services, are distributed by nature, are positioned very close to user devices and can benefit from these architecture patterns. EfficientIP services can run in containers and still be managed centrally from the SOLIDserver management plane, allowing dynamic topologies, automated scale in/out and edge...
