IP address management

For the network manager, planning the allocation of IP space and keeping track of actual IP address usage (increasingly known as IPAM) is now a major headache.

Traditional tools such as spreadsheets, bespoke databases or standalone IP address management software can't cope. There are two problems. Because there are now so many IP addresses to manage, in more complex ways, often these tools can no longer make the data manageable. And across a large IP address space - which corresponds to a large actual network, often managed by many people across a large organisation - actual IP address usage can not be controlled to keep it in line with the allocation scheme mapped out in the IPAM tool.

DNSBOX400 solves these problems. Carrier-class IP Address Management software makes managing the large, complex IP address spaces of today easier. Full integration with DNS and DHCP means the corresponding data sets are now automatically synchronised, eliminating the gap between planned and actual IP address usage.

If you already have a satisfactory DNS/DHCP setup, you can deploy DNSBOX400 simply to overlay IPAM onto your system, giving you the benefits of advanced, integrated IP Address Management without the cost of scrapping what you already have.
