Cloud-Managed Enterprise DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI) for the Distributed Enterprise

What is DDI?

DDI is shorthand for the combination of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (IP address management). Modern DDI software allows for the integration of these three main components into one unified and centrally managed solution, and is the foundation for all forms of communication on an IP network.

We provide the only internet-scale, cloud-native DDI solution that delivers modern DNS and DHCP anywhere, with centralized IPAM in the cloud; from the edge to the core.

Cloud-Native Core Network Services for Today's Distributed Enterprise Environment

Build resilience and accelerate digital transformation with NS1 Cloud-Managed DDI


Deploy Core Network Services in Seconds - From the Edge to the Cloud

Connect devices and deliver applications at any number of locations across distributed, hybrid network environments through our unified platform, NS1 Connect.

Learn More

Minimize Downtime and Improve Network Resilience

Distributed locations can operate independently even if connectivity to central service hubs is disrupted.

Simplify DevOps and NetOps with Flexible Deployments and Automation

DevOps and NetOps teams gain the automation and integrations they need to operate in an agile manner and incorporate "infrastructure as code" into their CI/CD pipelines.

Learn More

Why You Need a Cloud-First Approach to DDI

On-premise core network services haven't and can't keep up with new technology paradigms like cloud computing, microservices architectures, IOT/OT, new operating models like DevOps, NetOps, and new cloud-centric commercial models.

Traditionally, DDI was deployed in appliances and scaled vertically rather than horizontally - and therefore less efficient and elastic. They're unable to provide the flexibility for local compute and autonomy, with centralized control at the distributed edge, that modern network configurations require.

Key Features and Benefits

Cloud-Managed DDI reduces the complexity of delivering core network services for highly distributed enterprises while providing secure, reliable services at the enterprise or cloud edge, all managed from a cloud-based portal.

Cloud-Native Approach

Easily scale infrastructure up or down in sync with business needs and objectives - no hardware required

Zero Touch Provisioning

Automate provisioning of devices for centralized policy control

Fleet Management

Automatically deploy, upgrade, and downgrade network services for multiple edge locations from the cloud portal

Automated Workflows

Seamlessly integrate cutting-edge tools for workflow automation like ServiceNow, network and server monitoring (AWS CloudWatch, Catchpoint, Datadog, Monitis), log analysis, and visualization tools
