Offering a Helping Hand Through Automation and Services
As enterprise networks have swelled from legacy LAN/WAN to private/public cloud, SDWAN, IoT, BYOD, SASE, and beyond, managing this increasing complexity has grown more challenging. DDI serves as a foundational management component of your diverse application and networking environment, and we can help ease your management complexity through automation and managed services.

Applying ITIL4 Discipline to DDI
IP addresses and associated DHCP and DNS functions are foundational to IT services and applications running over an IP network; these functions must be prudently managed, just as other critical network infrastructure elements are managed via the centralization of control, monitoring, and provisioning of distributed network elements.

As an extension or as the full extent of your enterprise infrastructure, ubiquitous accessibility to compute, database, and application resources in the cloud is imperative. Such accessibility implies network access, albeit with appropriate access controls, for your users to access the cloud services and applications they require.

Inglorious DDI
While keeping your network's foundational DDI services up and running won't garner you many public accolades, you are indeed an unsung hero. DDI is the foundation of your network and if any part of it fails, the entire network will suffer.
