DDI Central DNS DHCP IPAM

Centralise DNS, DHCP and IP address management

Many organisations struggle to keep DNS, DHCP and IP allocations consistent across multiple on‑prem servers. That leads to manual configuration, limited visibility and slower troubleshooting when name or address issues occur.

DDI Central provides a single control plane for discovery, configuration and operational management of DNS, DHCP and IP address space on on‑prem servers. It brings DHCP scope and lease management, IPAM inventory, server monitoring, auditing and policy‑based automation into one view to reduce manual tasks and speed problem resolution.

Where DDI Central is used

Use DDI Central to consolidate DNS, DHCP and IPAM data into a single authoritative inventory so teams can validate allocations and reduce configuration drift. It supports routine DHCP scope and lease management and keeps an accurate IPAM record for operational teams.

Use the product to monitor on‑prem DNS and DHCP servers and to apply policy‑based automation for repetitive tasks. Built‑in auditing helps capture configuration changes and supports operational traceability.
