Your DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management (DDI) admin takes a lot of time and effort
You want more control over your IP address space usage
You want to ensure these core network services are secure and available

DNSBOX is a range of DDI appliances – with a variety of different models for different tasks – combining the benefits of enterprise-class DDI management software with the security, reliability and ease-of-use of the appliance format.

These customers needs vary:

- maybe just to fix a local DNS or DHCP server issue in a specific location

Whatever their needs, customers choose DNSBOX because, compared with alternatives, it is:

Simpler – saving time and money on deployment, training and administration
Rock-solid – making your DDI more secure, reliable and robust

More affordable – saving on capex

Why DDI

Simplify, Control and Protect Your DDI

A DDI management solution will make administration of your network’s names and numbers – planning IP address usage, running DNS and DHCP services – much easier:

Radically simplify the work involved, saving time, saving money
Increase control over the data, how people process the data and the resulting quality of your DDI services
Protect these core services from high-impact security threats and service failures

Standard tools have poorly designed workflows making it unnecessarily difficult

There is a lot to learn and know. Administrators must remember the correct format/data for entry, as well as be familiar with complex protocols.
Standard editing of DDI data seems designed to make your life difficult and create extra work! There are lots of inefficient repetitive steps, many dos and don’ts to remember and the chances of a mistake are high.
There are multiple connected servers to manage. Maintaining each server and controlling the linkages between them is difficult.

Risks are high and so is the business impact if something does go wrong

Even a little mistake could mean a DNS or DHCP service fails, so the network fails and you have a big business problem.
DDI services are top security targets. Protecting against attack is complex and difficult.
Server failure can lead to disaster, so reliability and redundancy are key issues.

The difficulty of the work leads to people issues

You have to rely on more experienced staff. Losing experts is a problem.
In larger networks, with the workload shared across different places, with several tools, not one system, coordination is a headache and you can end up with conflicts to manage.

An integrated DDI solution like DNSBOX deals with these headaches and makes your life easier.
