DDIInternet of ThingsIPAMIoT in Higher Education: How DDI Enhances User ExperienceThis week’s blog comes to us from our very own Paul-Emile Bellaloum, Global Project Delivery Manager. Different surveys show that more than 80% of students believe personal information will transform their higher education experience. Today’s students are comfortable sharing their personal information, but they expect more in return from schools when they do. Just like with an app, they prefer to “give to get” when it comes to data. IoT is seen as a valuable means of gathering data, and...
DDIInternet of ThingsIPAMNetwork AutomationSuccessful IoT Projects: The Key Role of AutomationThe Internet of Things (IoT) is placing huge challenges on network managers across all industries. With booming endpoint numbers and generated traffic, device management and network efficiency become of paramount importance. Just as IoT solutions begin to be deployed at scale, many organizations face the impact of their partners’ migration projects, from traditional network architectures to IP-based networks. To cope effectively, automation using DNS-DHCP-IP Address Management (DDI) will become vital. Scale and IP transformation headaches For categories including consumer, industrial...
DDIIPAMIPv6 is here – what are you waiting for?We are running out of IPv4 addresses, thanks to the rapid expansion in mobile, with 5G and IoT connections. When you add the growth of the Asian market, there’s an imminent need for IPv6, with it’s near inexhaustible supply of addresses. What does this mean for enterprises? And how should they incorporate this new IP management transition and coexistence? With a smart IP Address Management (IPAM) solution of course! The limitations of IPv4 Organizations are faced with the headache of...
DDIDHCPDNSIPAMVirtualization & CloudDDI Uncovered: Bringing Networks Substantial Time and Cost SavingsOnce upon a time, IT managers had a piece of paper in their hand detailing every IP address and MAC address within their organization. But how could such an approach work now? The modern enterprise has to cope with BYOD with any number of workers bringing any number of devices; with IoT where even parts of the building’s infrastructure will have their own IP addresses. Then there’s the growing use of cloud deployment, where parts of the corporate system no...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationRemoving Network Management Complexity with AutomationIn today’s world, IT is powered by automation. If your network strategy involves cloud or software-defined data centers (SDDC), you also need to consider how your organization can overcome the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure. A key step would be to use automation in the management of IP addresses, and integrate this process within a modern DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) platform. Managing the corporate network Infrastructure management is becoming more and more automated, which means we’re going to need better ways...
DHCPDNSInternet of ThingsIoT Security: Are Universities’ DNS and DHCP Ready for the Challenge?Today, our communications are greatly enhanced by access to the Internet, giving the ability to connect computers through a global network infrastructure. While we once only connected directly through a static port computer, we now utilize more than five connected items on average, making the total amount of IoT devices expected to more than double every five years. However, connecting all of these devices through private or public networks has its dark side too, and can be challenging for many...
DNSDNS SecurityWhat Mr. Robot Can Teach Businesses About Network SecurityWe here at EfficientIP love a good scripted drama…and with the return of the USA Network series Mr. Robot last week, we’re ready for a summer of mixing business with pleasure. If you’re unfamiliar with the show, a basic plot synopsis: Hacktivist group FSociety is on a mission to overthrow E Corp, a conglomerate that manufactures phones, computers and devices, and also happens to run a giant banking and consumer credit division. Led by unhinged vigilante hacker Elliot Alderson, FSociety...
DNS SecurityThe Internet of Things and DNS SecurityWhen we think of the Internet of Things, we usually think of smart home devices such as Nest’s intelligent thermostat, Amazon’s Echo or the recently announced Google Home. But they’re only a small part of a predicted explosion in the number of devices – and in the services they are going to use. Tomorrow’s internet is one where machines and devices outnumber the PCs and smartphones that access the information they deliver. Just take a look at the announcements from...
