IP Adressen Management
IP Address Management (IPAM) is used to centrally manage the IP addressing as well as to automatically connect all the information from the DNS and DHCP services.
Factors that are critical to the business within the IT environment include the DNS and DHCP services as well as the IPAM (DDI). Because managing and monitoring the IP services is not instantly clearly relevant to the business, these activities have been side-lined somewhat.
But what happens if, for example, the DNS service fails, is incorrect or if no IP addresses are allocated by DHCP? Important applications fail! If the DNS service is not working, the web pages can no longer be visited. That is why reliable IP services (DNS/DHCP) are incredibly important for the availability and the end user services and ultimately for the success of your business.
It is essential that you have reliable secure and effective IP management solution in order to guarantee the quality of your IPAM services and to prevent any outages and malfunctions.
Where do the challenges lie?
Over recent years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the complexity of IT infrastructures – keywords IoT and cloud, to name a few – and therefore also in the importance of IP, DNS and DHCP services, so that we are able to manage these services properly and effectively. Additional requirements such as traceability and auditing have been created for today’s DDI solutions, precisely for matters of security.
Requirements of a modern IPAM system
- DNS, DHCP and IP address management
- Multi-client capability, hierarchical administration
- Centralised control, data management and data backup
- Decentralised administration with targeted data backup
- Guarantee of network availability
- Redundancy of the DNS/DHCP Services (High Availability)
- Connection to other systems (SOAP/XML/REST) interfaces
- Integration of existing DNS/DHCP servers
- Support of Cloud AWS Route 53 DNS
- Provision of security functions (DNSSEC, DNS Firewall, DNS Tunneling Detection)
- Dedicated DNS/DHCP Server Appliances (hardware and software Appliances)
- Easy Software Upgrade
Unsere Lösung
IPAM erlaubt es, im Gegensatz zu den Server-zentrierten Methoden, den gesamten IP-Raum zentral zu steuern. Die statische und dynamische Vergabe der IP-Adressen wird mit DNS verbunden und Rechte können somit an mehrere Personen delegiert werden. Ein enormer Vorteil, denn so können sich Administratoren auf bestimmte IP- und Unternehmensbereiche fokussieren. Zusätzlich ist bei umfangreichen Lösungen IP-Address-Data-Modeling möglich – die IP-Bereiche werden an die jeweiligen Unternehmensbereiche (geografische Zuordnungen oder Abteilungsstrukturen) angepasst und grafisch repräsentiert. Das ist besonders bei Firmenzusammenschlüssen und Übernahmen wichtig.
