DDIIPAMVirtualization & CloudDDI for Multicloud: Improving Opex, UX and App DeploymentWhen it comes to handling of new applications and workloads for modern digital infrastructures, multicloud is an unquestionable reality. However, the real value of cloud is being held back by siloed data and manual processes which are both error-prone and time-consuming. Success of hybrid multicloud projects is very much reliant on resiliency, accessibility, security and performance of cloud infrastructures and services. For this, integrating the resources deployed in clouds with a DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution is critical, as it brings the...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & Cloud3 DDI Ways to Improve your Network Automation JourneyWhen tasked with rolling out new network infrastructure in hundreds or even thousands of retail stores to support the digital transformation initiative of his company, imagine what the Infrastructure Director of a worldwide retail brand has to plan for. The DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) components would likely come last or even not be considered at all. In addition to the design of the new network infrastructure matching the Digital Transformation goals, the technical assessment of the readiness of each site, the logistics,...

In order to function, businesses will have no choice but to transform, both from organizational and societal viewpoints. The result will be rapid acceleration of digital transformation projects, covering key initiatives like edge computing, multi-cloud, zero-trust security, autonomous networks and infrastructure-as-code. So as organizations continue their transition to the “new normal”, here...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSVirtualization & CloudEnhancing SD-WAN Efficiency with Edge DNS GSLB for Improved UXFor organizations to survive in today’s highly competitive digital world, it’s vital that their businesses run smoothly. Users and customers need to be able to access their important work applications and services, at all times and from anywhere. Unfortunately, network complexity is increasing the likelihood of apps becoming unreachable due to scenarios such as WAN failure. SD-WAN can assist to some extent, but is helpless when any network component on the routing path goes down. This is where adding DNS...
DDIDNSVirtualization & CloudDNS for NFV and 5G: Automatic Scaling and Easy InstantiationModern application developments should integrate cloud design principles including meshing, redundancy, horizontal scalability and being event driven. Infrastructure services can follow the same approach for some components that can be distributed. DNS is one of the services that has been designed for meshing, replication, scalability and load sharing. This makes it a really good candidate for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) as seen in telecommunication designs, and especially nowadays in 5G network infrastructures. Digital transformation has pushed some developments and architecture...
DDIIPAMVirtualization & CloudKeeping Control Over Azure With Cloud IPAM SyncNowadays, hybrid clouds are ubiquitous. Companies have their resources spread across on-premise, private clouds and public clouds such as AWS and Azure. For managing these cloud infrastructures, the main options are to use the tools from the cloud provider, develop home-grown solutions, or to take advantage of a Cloud Management Platform (CMP). Unfortunately, potential outcomes of these solutions include siloed management, limited visibility of resources, or having to manage multiple separate repositories. The SOLIDserver Cloud IPAM Sync feature helps overcome...

There are domains where software requires a high level of quality since any major bug can lead to high service impact. At EfficientIP we are developing such a strategic solution – to put in place a digital testing factory that helps us release stable versions with minimal regression impact. Why do we need a digital testing factory? Our factory is embedded in the development process and serves the following objective:...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudGain Central Visibility Across All Your AWS Cloud VMs With IPAM RepositoryOne of the main promises of the cloud native principle is elasticity. Workload should be able to benefit from a flexible infrastructure and scale whenever necessary. The primary and easiest component to scale up and down is the virtual machine, as most enterprises are still using servers. But with network teams simultaneously creating, modifying and destroying hundreds of VMS across multiple clouds in multiple locations, network administrators are quickly left with outdated status visibility and unmanageable management complexity. The obvious...
