CIO OPINION
Office 365 run faster . With today ’ s rapidly expanding distributed workforce , getting secure access to cloud apps and data as if working from headquarters is a game changer for your employees – and your network management team .
What does cloud-managed DDI look like ?
DDI ( DNS , DHCP and IP address management ) services play a central role in every network interaction . They are what keep your enterprise network running . They ’ re involved in all of your digital business workflows , services , applications and data – regardless of location . DDI unifies the management and automation of these services so your network is always on and runs efficiently as it scales to new users and devices .
For many organisations , cloud-managed DDI provides a more flexible , agile and cost-effective complement to on-premises , server-based DDI solutions . By using lighter virtual or physical appliances at each remote location , core services can be centrally managed in the cloud . No more local configuring of appliances or complex on-site service provisioning . With cloudmanaged DDI , you get the benefit of full DDI visibility , automation and reliability , but with lower hardware and operating costs , fewer errors and total control . This opens the door to building a faster , more reliable network experience for users at the Edge who want instant access to cloud apps , and a more controlled and efficient management experience for IT pros in the network operations centre .
Centralising Control of the Edge
Cloud-managed DDI offers a bridge that allows organisations to integrate core network services , bringing DNS , DHCP and IPAM together on a unified platform . By replacing siloed on-prem DNS and DHCP controllers with cloud-native technology , organisations can take a huge step toward Digital Transformation through integrated DDI services they can centrally manage in the cloud across all locations , ensuring better branch performance , faster access to cloudbased applications and higher availability .
Increasing agility at the Edge
For some borderless enterprises , fully-featured , enterprise-grade DDI services are not needed in all of its branches or remote sites . For example , an organisation may already have a DNS service that meets all its needs in every location , but it wants to deploy only DHCP or IP address management
Your organisation wants to embrace the cloud and all its benefits – yet you need a simpler , more reliable way to manage your network , devices , apps and services across all locations .
