CYGNA DDI
Cygna DDI Appliances
Secure physical, virtual and cloud appliances enabling distributed network services with centralized control.
Security and flexibility
Cygna VitalQIP and runIP appliance portfolios leverage a secured commercial Linux based distribution. These operating systems offer security with the ability to install customer-desired software for monitoring, data collection, or other purposes. Cygna Sapphire appliances are built from the ground up with a raw Linux kernel, with only necessary files, binaries, users, daemons, and interfaces. As such, Sapphire appliances run out of the box for purpose-built DDI applications by design, whether IPAM, DHCP/DNS, automation, and so on.
More choices of platforms
Cygna DDI appliances are available in three models. Cygna Sapphire appliances, Cygna VitalQIP appliances, and Cygna runIP appliances. Cygna VitalQIP and runIP appliances support VitalQIP Enterprise Server software and Cygna DHCP and DNS services. Cygna runIP and Sapphire appliances support Cygna IPControl software as well as Cygna DHCP and DNS services. Cygna Sapphire appliances also support Cygna Automation, Executive Monitor, and IPAM Auditor software pre-installed.
Centralized management
Cygna DDI appliances can be patched and upgraded remotely via centralized appliance manager products available for respective models. The Cygna Appliance Manager supports Cygna VitalQIP and Sapphire appliances while Cygna runIP Appliance Manager supports configuration, diagnostics and updating of runIP appliances. Centralized configuration of DHCP and DNS is provided by Cygna DDI applications.
Hardware and virtual deployment
Cygna Sapphire appliances are available in four hardware models and various virtual instantiations for VMware, Hyper-V, QEMU/KVM, Xen, and AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI public cloud services. Cygna VitalQIP appliances are available in three hardware models, on VMware, as well as AWS and Azure. Cygna runIP appliances are built via an ISO created using the runIP Appliance Manager, which can be used to deploy runIP on two hardware platforms and a variety of private and public cloud platforms.
Flexible scaling and pricing
DNS and DHCP traffic bursts can usually be anticipated and proactively addressed based on forthcoming marketing campaigns or upcoming corporate events. But occasional surprise bursts may arise from unplanned events such as shadow IT teams experimenting with virtualization swarms. Cygna Sapphire appliances can be deployed not only as virtual machines but as Docker images as well with volume pricing allowing rapid deployment of DNS/DHCP appliances at scale.
