EfficientIP, a leading provider of ground-level strategic network services, the smart combination of DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management, have announced the availability of SOLIDserver 6.0.1, extending its leadership in DNS Security, DDI cloud, and DDI orchestration solutions

For the first time, enterprise-levels of sophistication are available to mid-size companies for IT layers many of their larger rivals ignore at their peril.

To stay ahead of the ever-evolving cyber security landscape, organisations are looking to implement innovative, best-of-breed solutions which can keep pace with the latest trends in cloud and virtualisation, keeping their networks efficient, error-free and delivering maximum ROI.

SOLIDserver DDI virtual appliance runs on all major virtualisation solutions available on the market, including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and OpenStack. Now it has been extended to run in public cloud environments as well: Amazon’s AWS, Microsoft’s Azure and the Google Cloud. In addition, running SOLIDserver reduces costs by distributing DNS-DHCP and IPAM services enabling faster deployment of services.

SOLIDserver 6.0.1 seamlessly integrates with leading Orchestrators, like vRrealize, HP OO and Terraform, to automate workflow provisioning. This makes for fast and easy deployments according to specific DDI management policies, IP resources ready to adapt rapidly to changing business demands and reduces the risk of errors caused by the repetition of manual tasks. Another less obvious benefit orchestrator integration brings is global visibility across the entire network. 

Configuration of EfficientIP’s powerful DNS security solution, DNS Guardian, has been made even easier via GUI access. Innovating to strengthen the fight against cybersecurity, new analytical and reporting capabilities have been introduced. A more precise view of DNS traffic allows rapid analysis of trends and anomalies. Real-time traffic analysis allows detailed investigation of anomalies and hence efficient remediation. 

David Williamson, CEO of EfficientIP, said, “The transfer of advanced technology is what EfficientIP is about. These days every organisation, large to small need safer and lower cost networks. As with F1, cutting edge tech filters down to become the state-of-the-art and eventually the industry standard. This latest version of SOLIDserver brings the tech which literally protects world-class telcos into the reach of tomorrow’s leaders. There is no longer an excuse to buy anything but the best. ”

Additional new SOLIDserver 6.0.1 functions, features and benefits include:

• New Interactive Charts - improving user experience and information quality

• Analytics Tools for DNS Guardian - mitigating effectively all cybersecurity attacks

• High Performance Query Logging - offering unequalled detection of security threats 

• Embedded System Supervision - providing unified supervision of DDI infrastructure via GUI

• DDI Orchestration - enabling fast, easy, error-free deployments, with global visibility

• SOLIDserver in the Cloud - ensuring business continuity & cost-reduction potential

• Discovery of VRF(s) - offering enhanced visibility of MSPL network
