IP Address Management

To avoid interruptions and failures of your critical applications, you should have reliable, secure and effective IP address management (IPAM). The management and monitoring of IP services often fall by the wayside because the business relevance is not immediately apparent or demonstrable.

More information

IP address management is used for the central administration of IP addressing and the automatic connection of all information from the DNS and DHCP services. Within IT, these and the IPAM (DDI for short) are among the business-critical factors. What happens, for example, if the DNS service fails or if incorrect or no IP addresses are assigned? Important applications fail! Your website or online store can no longer be visited. Reliable IP services (DNS/DHCP) are therefore of great importance for availability and end user services and therefore also for your business success.

Mastering growing complexity

As IT infrastructures become increasingly complex, DDI is also gaining in importance and with it the challenge of managing these services correctly and effectively. Additional security requirements such as traceability and auditing also increase the demands on DDI solutions.

What a modern IPAM system must be able to do:

DNS, DHCP and IP address management
Multi-client capability, hierarchical administration
Central control, data storage and data backup
Decentralized administration with targeted data backup
Ensuring network availability
Redundancy of DNS/DHCP services (high availability)
Connection to other systems (SOAP/XML/REST) interfaces
Integration of existing DNS/DHCP servers
Cloud AWS Route 53 support
Provision of security functions (DNSSEC, DNS firewall, DNS tunneling detection)
Dedicated DNS/DHCP server appliances (hardware and software appliances)
Simple software upgrade

Central control of the IP room

In contrast to server-centric methods, IPAM allows the entire IP space to be controlled centrally. The static and dynamic allocation of IP addresses is linked to DNS and rights can therefore be delegated to several people. This is a huge advantage, as it allows administrators to focus on specific IP and company areas. IP address data modeling is also possible for extensive solutions, i.e. the IP areas are adapted to the respective company areas (geographical allocations or departmental structures) and represented graphically. This is particularly important for company mergers and takeovers.
