DDIIPAMSigns It’s Time To Upgrade Your IPAMAs the technology that drives business forward evolves, so does the need for a more complex network that keeps everyone securely connected. An improved IP address management (IPAM) solution upgrade can help make it easier to build and maintain an inventory of your networks, subnets and IP addresses, and preserve the health of your network overall. A timely upgrade can help you efficiently manage this vital area of your organization. Learn more about modernizing your IPAM solution and how a...
DDIDHCPDNSDNS SecurityIPAMVirtualization & CloudSOLIDserver Release 8.0: Enhancing Multi Cloud Control and SecurityThe Release 8.0 of SOLIDserver puts strong focus on support of multi cloud services and strengthening of DNS Security, thus helping network teams improve control and visibility over their entire infrastructure. In particular, it enhances the existing DNS Cloud feature with Azure DNS Zones capability, and builds on EfficientIP’s award-winning DNS Guardian solution for improving filtering of DNS queries and expanding capacity of security policies. The main features introduced with Release 8.0 include the following: 1) DNS Cloud for Azure...
DDIDNSIPAMNetwork AutomationImproving Operational Efficiency with DDI Automation & Event ForwardingThe DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution is the central point for any IP related information you have on your network, so being able to automatically inform other IT components about any modifications is a must. SOLIDserver proposes such a webhook feature, which we call “Event Forwarding”. It reinforces the central position of the DDI, and in particular the IPAM, for the whole ecosystem, complementing our rich SOLIDserver API engine for automation from the peering tools in order to enhance security, visibility, compliance...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationAutomating Security Compliance with SOLIDServer IPAM and Tufin IntegrationYou can’t secure what you don’t know As we know at EfficientIP, managing security of the IP Infrastructure nowadays is challenging. The move to cloud, deployment of SD-WAN networks and Zero Trust requirements increase complexity by adding new devices and configuration processes. Users are more ubiquitous, application deployment more frequent, hybrid cloud deployments present in most enterprises while threats have never been stronger. This is why we developed our SOLIDserver solution around our IPAM.Tufin is a leading vendor in the...
DDIDHCPDNSDNS SecurityIPAM5 Reasons to Choose EfficientIP DDIRequirements of today’s IT infrastructure IT infrastructure has become extremely complex and in perpetual evolution to match ever evolving business needs. In addition to planning the needs for building and running new IT and Network services, decommissioning of resources when they are no longer needed, must now be anticipated right from the get go. Obviously, all this must also be performed while ensuring maximum security, high velocity and reliability in the execution. Not conforming to these requirements would lead to...
DHCPDNSDNS SecurityIPAMEnhancing IoT Security with DNS CQFIoT devices are popping up every second, with many being on an organization’s network but not always under the control of I&O teams. These devices are required to be identified, inventoried, screened, managed and secured in order not to cause any problems to the rest of the IT ecosystem, the users or the organization itself. This requires tooling and processes where the DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) certainly has an important role to play, in particular EfficientIP’s DNS Client Query Filtering (CQF) feature....
DDIDHCPDNSIPAMDDI & Infrastructure Software ArchitectureYou are convinced about the interest of the Infrastructure As Code approach. But you don’t really know how to take best advantage of the code that will be produced. The principles used in software architecture and known as the abstraction layer can be applied to infrastructure. This layer will hide the complexity of the infrastructure and allow other functional programs to manage infrastructure components through high-level API services. In the context of building such an abstraction layer with automation capabilities...
DDIDHCPDNSIPAMDDI Automation for Infrastructure as CodeWhen using code to automate the activities in the infrastructure department, a DDI solution (DNS, DHCP & IPAM) is one of the parts to connect to and use data from. It may actually be a good strategy to start your Infrastructure as Code initiative with DDI in your bucket of tools and software integrations, as it will facilitate the development of other parts thanks to its “IP Source of Truth” data repository and network services automation. Automated Infrastructure It was...
DDIIPAMSimplify IT Operational Management with Identity ManagerThe IPAM is far more than just a repository of IP addresses and subnets. To cope with a wide variety of networking environments, it becomes interesting to store and manage additional objects such as VLANs for example. In order to achieve true visibility between users and their applications, which is by essence what IT is all about, it’s necessary to be able to manage both the applications and the users. Since release 7.3, the EfficientIP SOLIDserver solution brings IT user...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudSD-WAN: How DDI Simplifies Deployment and OperationsSD-WAN was born as Enterprises needed cheaper bandwidth and more nimble ways of deploying and operating WAN networks especially with the requirements of Digital Transformation. Although SD-WAN delivers on its promises, most solutions on the market do not fulfill all the services that were rendered by traditional MPLS services, like for instance IP Address Management (IPAM). While providing some subsets of its features, SD-WAN solutions lack Integrated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) as a whole, especially DNS services. And while SD-WAN is protocol...
