Cloud services are now a key component of IT operations â utilised by more than 90% of organisations globally. However, when rolling out compute cloud services, DNS and IP address provisioning often lags behind compute and storage processes, leading to delays in the rollout of applications and inconsistency of network policies.
Manual lifecycle management of IP resources is extremely time-consuming, causes configuration errors, and makes it difficult to enforce security policies; coupling this with a lack of centralised management â in hybrid and multi-cloud environments â this causes incomplete and out-of-date visibility over the networks, virtual private clouds (VPCs), IP addresses and DNS records being assigned.
For successful projects, end-to-end cloud provisioning has therefore become vital. In this context, including deployment automation via integrated DDI (DNS, DHCP, IP Address Management) helps tremendously to overcome the above challenges, and guarantee that a customerâs virtual and cloud network infrastructure actively supports their business imperatives:
- Increased agility and scalability to handle ongoing changes
- Faster time-to-service
- Boosted productivity to accelerate organisationâs efficiency
- Decreased operational costs to do more with less
EfficientIP DDI and network automation solutions help organisations to deploy more agile, reliable and scalable public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google), private cloud (VMware, OpenStack), and hybrid cloud infrastructures through intelligent orchestration and end-to-end automation. To help make sure âcloud lock-inâ is avoided, the DDI solution supports multi-cloud and leading orchestrators.
In addition, to help businesses make the best use of automated processes and take a big step towards zero touch networks, the solution integrates easily with leading IT Service Management ITSM editors and networking solutions such as ServiceNow and Cisco DNA.
