The Global DDI Company
1
The Challenges
Dramatically growth of applications and services available on
networks
Exponential growth of devices connected to networks
IP infrastructure is a key support of Enterprise changes
Merge, acquisition, extension, and relocation
No IP = No Business
2
The Challenges
On top of service criticality, drastically increase of IP
address life-cycle complexity !
More devices with more services
More security rules, with more exceptions to the rules
More dynamic connections for more user mobility
High intimacy between DNS, DHCP and IPAM services
More management tasks to plan, deploy, control and reconcile
Consequences ?
50% of +1,000 employees companies faced network outages DNS or
DHCP
High 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

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
