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...

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...
DDIIPAMCisco DNA and EfficientIP IPAM Integration, For Easy Access Network DeploymentWhen focusing on zero touch automation, orchestration and automated network deployment are in the landscape. For maximizing the efficiency of this process, an IP address management (IPAM) solution is a key component that will ensure coherence of this automation, provide error-free configuration and bring significant administration savings. This is why EfficientIP offers Cisco DNA customers strong integration on automatic IP address provisioning for access networks. What is Cisco DNA? Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) is an open, extensible, software-driven architecture...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationEmpower Zero Touch NFV & SDN with DDI AutomationTwo different worlds are merging – ISP and Telcos – bringing requirements for innovative digital transformation projects. As a consequence, deployment of new network foundations and architectures including SDN (Software Defined Network), NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) and 5G is now becoming reality. Thanks to ETSI, 5G networks will bring slices for various requirements such as connected devices for IoT, reliable traffic for autonomous vehicles, and high bandwidth to serve new usage of mobiles. Building these 5G slices requires configuration of...
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...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudWhy SDDC is Powerless without Automated DDI Provisioning ?Gartner has predicted that 75% of Global 2000 enterprises will require Software Defined Data Centers (SDDC) by 2020. This move towards reliance on software-based infrastructure components is expected to bring agility to any service deployment workflow, and potentially also lower cost by using standardized hardware. However, realizing these benefits relies on infrastructure components being deployed and managed properly. This can only be achieved via automated provisioning of IP resources. As IP Address Management (IPAM) is at the core of this...
