The Challenges

Dramatically growth of applications and services available on networksExponential growth of devices connected to networksIP infrastructure is a key support of Enterprise changesMerge, acquisition, extension, and relocation

2

No IP = No Business

The Challenges

On top of service criticality, drastically increase of IP address life-cycle complexity !More devices with more servicesMore security rules, with more exceptions to the rulesMore dynamic connections for more user mobilityHigh intimacy between DNS, DHCP and IPAM servicesMore management tasks to plan, deploy, control and reconcile

Consequences ?50% of +1,000 employees companies faced network outages DNS or DHCPHigh average annual management costs per IP address at $8,68

“If this problem continued to be ignored organizations face an unacceptable situation: increased downtime, additional security events,

burdensome operations, and increasing costs”, ESG, feb 2009

Standard Solution

75% of DNS and DHCP services in use are based onOpen source software (Bind, ISC)Microsoft® Windows Server

IPAM tools in use

71% of companies

have no solution

Why Current DNS-DHCP Solutions Are Not Enough?

No built-in DNS-DHCP services continuity and disaster recovery functionality

No advanced security mechanisms to protect data integrity and ensure service availability

No unified and automated management

DNS and DHCP services are unitary and separately managed

No IP address management functionalities

Limited audit trails for quality and security control

Security• System: Hardened OS, easy and fast update process• Deny of service attack protections• IP address connection tracking: Where, When and Which IP/MAC address are connected?

High Availability• Automated failover management• Built-in disaster recovery mechanisms

Management• Unified and automated management

• One tool, one single process to manage IPAM-DNS-DHCP• Overall consistency control to eliminate conflicting configurations

• Conformity management• Define and enforce automatically DDI policies (IP address naming convention)• Metadata management (e.g. location, serial number)

• Granular role based delegation

Visibility• Single repository to consolidate DDI data• Real time access to the DDI information with advanced monitoring, reports, and statistics• Access to the information with user-defined search criteria (metadata)
