DDIDHCPDNSIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudEnsuring High Quality Software at EfficientIP with QA Digital FactoryThis week’s blog comes from QA automation expert Nabil Bourenane. 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:...

Here are our predictions for the top five trends that will shape technology and the networks industry in the coming year. 1. Infrastructure will move closer to the edge Progressing towards multiple clouds is a really smart move. It helps ease digital transformation...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIHow Edge DNS GSLB Ensures App Availability During WAN FailureDetecting IP path failures on enterprise networks is becoming increasingly complex with SD-WAN and multi-cloud approaches. Regardless of the way networking and hosting is being performed by the IT guys, users need to always be able to use their applications, so it’s absolutely vital to circumvent WAN failure scenarios. Edge DNS GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) is a great solution for this. DNS already plays a crucial part in the user to application binding process. Adding GSLB functionality to DNS...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSIPAMGSLB & Automated Application DeploymentDeployment or migration of applications in multi-cloud infrastructures can be made simpler and faster by using GSLB configuration to connect users to the newly-released app. When automation is used in the context of application continuous deployment, making use of an automated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution which is capable of also handling applications is really valuable. This is what EfficientIP brings to automation teams with its application repository and its edge DNS GSLB solution. The multi-cloud mix of internal and external infrastructure...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSApplication Traffic Routing with DNS GSLBApplication delivery to users is key in the digital transformation of enterprise processes. With the growing complexity of networks, hosting and application architecture, users still need to be directed to the best available component of the application. This is a challenge EfficientIP has accepted, and our DNS GSLB solution provides the answer with intelligent application traffic routing feature. IT systems have been shaken by multiple new approaches. Hybrid multi-cloud tends to distribute the workload on the most convenient and efficient...
DDIDHCPDNSIPAMNetwork AutomationSOLIDserver 7.1: Optimizing Application Traffic Routing & DNS Security Policy ManagementThe new release of SOLIDserver 7.1 confirms EfficientIP’s innovation and growth in key digital transformation areas concerning enterprise network security, IP resource management and application traffic routing, for both on-premise and multi-cloud environments. The release brings exciting new and updated functionality in three main sectors: 1) Application Traffic Management Maintaining accurate real-time visibility over deployed applications on a complex, multi-cloud, infrastructure and related IP resources is difficult. Ensuring the availability of these applications is an even greater challenge. The most...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationIPAM Best Practices for Simplifying Network ManagementWe live in an IP-centric world. The explosion of IP addresses is being driven by increases in connected devices, apps, and mobility. The outcome is unmanageable network complexity, which is being magnified by IPv6 coexistence and multi-cloud. Network managers are consequently asking themselves: “how can I control my IP network if I can’t control IP resource allocation, access & routing?” Their top priority for the management of their networks has now become clear: simplification, driven by automation. This is achieved...
DNSDNS SecurityResponding to rapidly growing DNS threats, a critical need for APAC organizationsThe average financial loss to organisations across Asia Pacific from DNS attacks is on the rise, up 19% from last year. Reports say that 62% of organizations in the region have suffered application downtime associated with DNS attacks. Companies in Asia Pacific have been steadily upping their technology spends in a quest to embrace digital economy and respond to increasing consumer and stakeholder demands. As the growth engine of the world, APAC has seen a rapid surge in the exchange...
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...
