The deployment of networks will be phased over several years and features will appear along the road at the rhythm of normalisation by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). As initial benefits for the mobile user, 5G networks can provide a greater density of devices on the radio network, higher bandwidth and lower latency transit that enables new usages like industrial control, inter autonomous vehicle event...

Edge DNS GSLB Use Cases

As explained in our solution paper “Edge DNS GSLB: Complement Your Load Balancing and Multi-Cloud Strategy”, the EfficientIP Edge DNS GSLB solution brings valuable enhancements to user experience, multi-site resiliency, disaster recovery planning, and datacenter scalability and agility. As a reminder, Edge DNS GSLB brings a simple and efficient way to load balance traffic, taking into account geographical dispersion and resource availability.

Cloud IPAM Sync for Azure

Any workload deployed in a renowned and integrated environment is automatically well managed and provides a controlled service level. For workloads deployed elsewhere, it is more complex to ensure all processes and enforcement are fully controlled. For providing control, a good place to start is with a repository of all the assets, and then ensuring the repository is kept up-to-date. IPAM, which is one part of the DDI strategy, offers this capability. The DDI ecosystem needs to be fully interfaced...

Cloud IPAM Sync for Amazon Web Services

Whereas deployment in known datacenters is straightforward to manage and troubleshoot, it is a bit more complex when multiple clouds are used. This is even worse when autonomy is provided to teams which are distant from I&O teams and build infrastructure on their own. The DDI ecosystem needs to be fully interfaced with all the cloud environments used by the corporation in order to guarantee central visibility and offer the ability to automate all processes. Global Visibility Using Single Pane...

Hybrid Multi-Cloud

As organizations evaluate cloud for new applications and to modernize legacy workloads, there is a real shift towards hybrid multicloud-first approach. But cloud adoption value is being hindered by siloed data and time-consuming error-prone processes. To help ensure success of cloud projects, resources deployed in clouds should be integrated with a DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution for maximum visibility, resiliency automation, control, and security. Investing in a multicloud-ready and unified DDI solution can help enterprises simplify, accelerate and de-risk their multicloud and...

DoH for Remote Users

With more users working outside the protected walls, all organizations want to increase the security of their activities and resources, including those of IT. Improving control over the traffic between each remote worker and the organization’s applications is key for smooth business operations and reducing potential of security issues that may cause severe damage. Some web browsers are already relying on DoH (DNS over HTTPS) for their own IP resolution. But using DoH with an untrusted public DNS service risks...

DDI for SD-WAN

SD-WAN has become the mainstream underlying network deployment scheme today within the SASE/SDSA frameworks. The principle of SD-WAN is to build networks around the Internet using MPLS and wireless networks (e.g. 4G/5G, Satellite Constellations) for diversity. There are obvious advantages using the Internet but it also brings new challenges. Routing now happens between Internet sites requiring an overlay network and making IP address control difficult. Multiple paths between sites complexifies routing of IP traffic, and SD-WAN brings little improvement regarding...

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Digital transformation relies on fast and iterative application development which directly impacts business processes in order to make them more efficient, more customer or user oriented and ideally speed up business. Deploying applications at a high pace requires dynamic infrastructure management which represents a real challenge where automation and software defined approaches are major pillars. The move from manual operations to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) represents a real transformation, from the technology to the implied workers as complementary skills are...

Zero Trust Security

Mixing workers on every kind of network and applications hosted in any kind of cloud requires a rethink of how the security policies are enforced. The Zero Trust approach proposes to rely on an «allow» model rather than on the standard «deny» one where users were traditionally trusted based on their location, inside considered generally as safe. In order to be able to apply this promising model it is necessary to rely on valuable and accurate data and deploy intelligent...

Improving App Access Control with DNS Client Query Filtering

Access control to applications can be performed at multiple levels in accordance with the security policies in place within the organization. For most, the main level in place nowadays is Authentication and Authorization at the application level through credentials meaning that normally no application is accessible without user screening. But is that really enough? Can a user with no access to an application get access to the login page? If self registration is not an option for this application, which...

DDI Solutions for Telco

Digital transformation projects, multi-cloud, 5G and IoT are bringing deployment of new architectures like NFV, SDN and SD-WAN.
