Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must deliver reliable service to their customers while meeting Internet Registry requirements, including accountability for allocated IP addresses and justification for requested additional address space. The successful tracking of your address allocations and monitoring of their utilization levels across a diverse customer base is critical to effective address management.
BT Diamond IP can help you gain greater control over your IP address space and improve DNS configuration management. By centralizing your IP Address Management and DNS functions with our award-winning technology you can improve Internet Registry reporting, enhance your planning capabilities, boost network reliability and strengthen security.
Our solutions simplify IP Address Management (IPAM) in a number of ways. We offer a best-fit, maximum utilization allocation algorithm that improves the efficiency of address block allocation. Patent-pending containers enable you to organize your IP address space based on geography, customers, block type and other user-defined parameters. This intuitive approach also helps preserve address roll-up. Administrator controls enable delegation of address space management within the organization and administrator-defined fields enable the tracking of critical information on block allocations such as billing and contact information. Our intuitive interface makes it easy to allocate any CIDR-sized block with a few mouse clicks.
Our solutions feature a number of available DNS configuration options. You can simplify complex DNS configuration parameters, even enabling tracking through resource records, if desired. DNS forward and reverse domain creation is available and reverse domains can be automatically created during the block allocation process, even when working with non-octet bounded blocks and blocks smaller than class C.
We offer a number of options to help enhance the performance and management of your public and private IP address space. For forecasting and trending analysis, we provide time-stamped audit information showing which administrator added, modified or deleted an address allocation and track the reasons behind changes. Our address hierarchy with roll-up capability streamlines address aggregation and allocation planning. Our fully automated Internet Registry reporting capabilities allow you to communicate block allocations and changes to a corresponding Internet Registry automatically, simplifying updates and on-going requests.
Our solutions include a central repository featuring a highly scalable relational database with redundancy for high availability. Our product architecture enables distribution of components and enhances reliability and security of information across multiple customer domains. Distributed DNS services can also be deployed redundantly for maximum reliability. To maximize performance you can pre-set configurations to reduce manual intervention errors, enable the rapid reconfiguration of servers, improve system security and reduce service outages. Through our solutions we deliver production-proven scalability to tens of millions of IP addresses or devices.
By centralizing and automating your IPAM, DNS and DHCP inventory, configuration and management functions, you benefit from a single, holistic perspective across your entire IP network. Administrator controls by container enable scoping of your topology based on hierarchy, geography, customer or block. This multilayered administrator control approach enables delegation of responsibilities across your organization and even provides your customers with options like read-only scoped access.
