Brand Overview | Efficient iP

The IT industry is evolving, with the acceleration of strategic IT initiatives and a proliferation of apps, IoT, multicloud, and remote workers. The increased complexity has brought many weaknesses; it has led to multiple management tools, an increase in error-prone manual processes, and siloed data. The consequences of this are worrying–inaccurate configurations, slow service rollout, loss of control, weaker security, reduced resilience… leading to serious business risks like network outages, higher opex, delayed TTM, limited capacity planning, data theft, business downtime, poor UX,...

Where Does DDI Fit In?

DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) is foundational for managing apps and networks so helps network personnel simplify management and strengthen security of their on-prem and cloud infrastructure - bringing visibility, control, consistent deployments, threat insights from network traffic, and structuring of network security policies.

DDI plays a critical role in connecting users to their applications and services:
- DNS ensures access routing for users to almost all applications and services
- DHCP provides IP addresses to devices, users, and apps so that they can connect to the network
- IPAM consolidates IP data into a central repository and manages the IP plan
