Why DDI Central is the heart of enterprise networking


Simplified network operations

DNS-DHCP-IPAM for distributed branch network sites
  • Hassle-free onboarding: Automate the discovery and integration of devices into your network with zero-touch provisioning.
  • Multi-branch architecture: Deploy and scale branch-by-branch strategies tailored to distributed enterprises. Each branch can operate independently while being centrally managed. This ensures consistency in DNS and DHCP configurations across all sites while allowing you to monitor and optimize IP address usage in real time.
  • Script-free automations: Eliminate the reliance on complex scripts, traditional codes for routine tasks. With DDI Central’s powerful configurable automations, even entry-level administrators can handle IP assignments, DHCP scope changes, and DNS updates, freeing up senior IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives.

Built for modern networks

DNS-DHCP-IPAM for modern enterprise network
  • Effortless IPv6 and dual-stack support: Enable scalable, high-density network connections while ensuring future-ready infrastructure and seamless legacy system management.
  • A software-only overlay: No hardware dependencies—deploy effortlessly over existing DNS and DHCP clusters.
  • Built-in resilience: Use built-in alerts, auditing, and failover setups, for proactive network management to ensure high uptime and compliance.

Security and access control

DNS-DHCP-IPAM for distributed branch network sites
  • Role-based access control: Define granular permissions and secure logins with SAML, LDAP, and 2FA (TOTPs).
  • Multilayered DNS security: Protect your network against DDoS attacks and block malicious domains with built-in DNS firewall configurations such as response rate limiting, response policy zones, and more.
  • DNSSEC protection: Ensure data integrity and authenticity by preventing DNS spoofing and cache poisoning through cryptographic signing.
  • Secure Emails: Establish robust defenses against phishing and whaling attacks by enforcing email authentication policies with SPF, DMARC, and DKIM via dedicated TXT records in the domain's DNS settings.
