To handle the fast-growing number of IP addresses with IoT, cloud and virtualisation projects, companies need to execute the most effective and secure performing network services. The lifecycle management of so many addresses is putting pressure on network teams, who need reliable tools to set, manage and monitor their services. SOLIDserver 6.0 integrates an intuitive, modern and fast user interface to manage large IP networks, alongside the most powerful functions available on the market. This latest version of EfficientIP’s appliance suite uses technology designed to deliver scalable, robust and secure solutions for the next wave of virtual and hardware DDI product.
The product has been optimised and improved to ensure the best user experience when managing large sets of IP addresses. Customers will benefit from an effective management system, and a DDI solution that supports business agility and prevents new services from experiencing loss of service. It also brings an evolutionary architecture that ensures efficient future development of EfficientIP’s current SOLIDserver offering.
The enhanced product is also introducing the DNS Guardian adaptive security functionalities to the enterprise market. DNS Guardian is now available from SDS 5500 to SDS 1100 appliance models.
David Williamson, CEO of EfficientIP, said: “The SOLIDserver unified management framework for DNS, DHCP & IPAM devices is recognised by the market as the most powerful and user friendly solution. With version 6.0 we are aiming to increase the gap between what we can offer in comparison to our competitor - who still has issues with aging technology in managing the amount of IP addresses.”
He added: “We are proud to deliver this new version of SOLIDserver to our customers and partners to help them to stay one step ahead of their competitors.”
To help network teams monitor device configuration, SOLIDserver allows users to automatically save and archive routers and switches configurations. The management console provides the possibility to retrieve the configurations of a specific date or to compare configurations set on different dates or devices.
