Secure DNS/DHCP Management — An Integrated Solution

Executive Summary

This paper briefly traces some of the challenges involved with IP address distribution over the past two decades, to the current adoption of DHCP as the dynamic protocol of choice for pain-free management of network resources. Integral to the theme of secure yet reliable network administration is the integration of DNS and DHCP into a single network device called the Adonis DNS/DHCP Appliance™ which ensures that traditional barriers to secure and effective resource allocations are overcome with an efficient yet easy-to-use solution that enhances enterprise information security.

The Adonis DNS/DHCP Appliance plugs directly into corporate networks; to securely integrate DNS and DHCP services for the conveniently centralized administration and enterprise-wide management of IP addresses, configurations, and host names. The hardened Linux-based appliance comes fully equipped with a feature-packed cross-platform rich client GUI called the Adonis Management Console™ that enables intuitive IP management throughout the enterprise, thereby ensuring dynamic and error-free IP address distribution and domain name resolutions for scarce network resources.

This condensed account of the recent development of IP address management runs along two related and integrated themes: IP address distribution and network resource allocations need not involve tedious micromanagement, nor (consequentially) compromise the security, integrity and reliability of the network and the enterprise. The Adonis DNS/DHCP Appliance offers a dynamic and sophisticated yet reliable and easy-to-use solution, with a rich client at the helm of secure and scalable DNS and DHCP for your growing business.
