IPControl™ Sapphire x Series DNS & DHCP Appliances

IPControl Sapphire x-Series Appliances provide a complete, secure, appliance-based solution to deploy and manage DHCP and DNS services across local or remote locations. Each Sapphire x-Series Appliance is pre-installed with IPControl DNS and DHCP software and runs on a hardened Linux operating system. The Sapphire x5 and Sapphire x10 provide local or distributed DNS/DHCP services on a secure 1U appliance platform. The Sapphire x20 offers data center-quality performance, redundancy and management thanks to its 2U platform. It is ideal for high-capacity, high-traffic network environments that require maximum availability of mission-critical DNS/DHCP services. On both the x10 and x20 products, BT Diamond IP now offers a new fiber interface option. This interface enables connection to 1000-Base-SX switches or routers for enhanced connectivity.

Deploying IPControl’s Sapphire x-Series Appliances in your environment will enhance DHCP and DNS management through improved control, visibility and security over all of your DHCP and DNS services, regardless of vendor or location.
