Solutions Documentation Moving From VitalQIP to EfficientIP DNS-DHCP-IPAMLooking for Smart DDI? We defined it. As one of the world’s fastest-growing DDI vendors, EfficientIP helps institutions worldwide drive business efficiency through agile, secure and reliable network infrastructures. Our unified management framework for DNS-DHCP-IPAM (DDI) and network configurations ensures end-to-end visibility, consistency control and advanced automation. Our unique 360° DNS security solution protects data confidentiality and application access from anywhere at any time. Companies worldwide rely on us to help overcome challenges they face with modern key IT initiatives...Edge DNS GSLBA long time ago, when the internet was far smaller, IP addresses were used to reach services. The introduction of qualified names for the services has simplified usage, particularly when it comes to browsers. DNS has been created to manage the hierarchy of names and fully qualified domain names which appear on the web to name all the services. We still use today the base principles defined at the early stage of the Internet. Destination DNS is used quite often,...Cloud IPAM Sync for Google Cloud PlatformAny workload deployed in a renowned and integrated environment is de facto well managed and provides a controlled service level. For workloads deployed in Public Clouds such as GCP, it is more difficult to ensure all processes and enforcement are fully controlled. 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...Migration from Infoblox to EfficientIPEfficientIP adds security, innovative functionality and ease of use to your DDI solution. Many Infoblox DDI customers globally have chosen to replace their legacy DDI solutions and switch to the EfficientIP SOLIDserver product. According to Gartner’s DDI report, customers typically cite the EfficientIP products as being cost-effective, easy to use, and flexible/customizable. Most customers who migrated from Infoblox did so for several reasons, including: EfficientIP professional services team smoothly replace your Infoblox DDI products, showing you how to do more...Automation Through IT Abstraction LayerThe complexity of infrastructures is increasing with all the IT initiatives being run by organizations today, from digital transformation to data management and artificial intelligence. With technologies ever more complex to manipulate and integrate, an opportunity resides in using coding as a base principle for infrastructure management, normal operations, and incident management. But the multitude of products and solutions in the infrastructure that need to be more integrated into the rest of the IT ecosystem, requires API links in between....IPv6 Needs Smart IPAMRegional registration agencies long ago announced that they have effectively run out of available IPv4 addresses to offer. Service providers have been assigning IPv6 addresses to companies who have no other choice than to adopt the IPv6 format in their infrastructure. The complexity of IPv6 addresses requires a sophisticated IP address management tool. With SOLIDserver™, EfficientIP offers a solution fully compliant with IPv6 to help you manage multi-tenant IPv6/v4 addressing plan and DNS/DHCP services in a fully integrated solution, ensuring...Techniques to Protect Against Data Breaches via DNSData exfiltration can be extremely difficult to detect as it often closely resembles typical network traffic. Substantial data loss incidents therefore only become noticed long after data exfiltration has already been achieved. DNS has been found to be one of the most discrete options for cyber criminals to carry out data theft1. The potential consequences of data exfiltration can be disastrous. They include: The aim of this paper is to describe how EfficientIP’s innovative solutions can be used to effectively...SOLIDserver IPAM SolutionsThe volume of hardware and virtual devices connecting to the internet and to corporate networks has led to exponential growth in the number of IP addresses required, leading to significant operational challenges. As a result, the performance, reliability, scalability and ease of deployment and administration of these services have become key strategic assets. Many system administrators still use spreadsheets to crossreference IP addresses. This most basic method is extremely limited, introduces great risk and is costly especially when a...Enhanced DNS Infrastructure SecurityDNS servers deliver critical services to your company, such as internet accessibility for your customers, partners and employees as well as access to network applications and other indispensable services such as email, CRM, VoIP, services in the Cloud… As a consequence of their fundamental role in the Information Technology infrastructure, DNS servers are visible and vulnerable to everyone. They are playing a dual role in the “kill-chain”, as a threat vector and as a favorite target. DNS attacks are more...DDI for 5G Infrastructures5G mobile networking is able to deliver many improvements over previous versions of celular technologies. 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 CasesAs 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. It enables application traffic routing decisions to be taken from the edge of the network, close to where...Cloud IPAM Sync for AzureAny 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...
