Managing the growing number of IP addresses resulting from new IoT, cloud, and virtualization projects requires organizations to have the most demanding and reliable network services. Managing the lifecycle of so many addresses is putting a strain on network administrators who need dependable tools to establish, manage, and monitor services.
For this reason, SOLIDserver 6.0 integrates an intuitive, modern, and, above all, fast user interface for managing large IP networks, along with the most powerful features available on the market. This latest version of the appliance suite uses EfficientIP technology designed to offer scalable, robust, and secure solutions for the next wave of DDI products, both hardware and virtual.
The new solution has been optimized and improved, ensuring the best user experience when managing large IP address ranges. Customers will therefore benefit from an efficient management system and a DDI solution that promotes process agility by preventing service interruptions. At the same time, it is based on an evolutionary architecture that guarantees future developments for EfficientIP's current SOLIDserver offering.
Furthermore, the new version is characterized by the integration of DNS Guardian's adaptive security features for the enterprise market. In fact, DNS Guardian is now available in appliance models ranging from $1,100 to $5,500.
Regarding this launch, David Williamson, CEO of EfficientIP, stated, “SOLIDserver is the unified management framework for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM network devices and configurations, recognized by the market as the most powerful and user-friendly solution. With version 6.0, we aim to widen the gap between what we can offer and what our competitors are doing, who are still using outdated technology to manage the vast number of IP addresses.” Williamson added, “We are proud to launch this new version of SOLIDserver, which helps our customers and partners stay ahead of the competition.”
Finally, SOLIDserver allows users to automatically save and archive router and switch configurations to facilitate device configuration monitoring by network administrators. Additionally, this management console offers the ability to retrieve configurations from a specific date or compare configurations set on different dates or across different devices.
