DNS/DNSSEC Controller

DNS/DNSSEC Controller

Flexible provisioning supports a variety of DNS/DDI platforms and services from a centralized multi-tenant interface

Easily deployed in our cloud or yours and can integrate with existing authentication systems or portals

Maintaining secure and robust DNS infrastructure is critical. That also means that automation and management of this critical environment can be a challenge. The future of DNS is evolving to multiple simultaneous platforms. Some zones could be managed by local DNS infrastructure, other zones managed with an external service for increased redundancy. Normally, this approach would require two (or more!) different management interfaces – but with ProVision – it’s all centralized and accessible without having to change any of your DNS infrastructure. ProVision also supports workflows for automation, integration, and delegation giving you even more flexibility. These out of the box features provide a variety of controls to support your dynamic IT systems without interfering with production infrastructure.

With the ProVision DNS Controller Module, you get a turn-key DNS management portal that imports your existing zone data using one of our ProVision Connectors, outputs it to the DNS server(s) of your choice (on demand or via schedule) and keeps track of all zone updates/edits.

User Benefits

 6connect recognizes that DNS and DNSSEC serve as the foundation of service providers’ and enterprises’ online presence. We have built robust, secure and easily managed DNS and DNSSEC tools into ProVision that makes creating and maintaining both easy, quick and fun (ok, fun for network administrators like us). Here are some benefits that our customers are seeing:

E

ProVision simplifies zone creation significantly by providing straightforward import tools, automatic zone serial creation, and multiple export options (local SSH, ZIP, SFTP transfer, etc…)

E

Improved zone accuracy because of automatic zone generation routines that feature built-in logic and error checking algorithms

E

Flexible searching across zones and zone assignments per customer or sites, and customizable zone entry types

E

Integrated DNSSEC support that leverages features from the server or service

E

Approval Workflows provide significant time savings due to reduced ToTF* *Throwing Over The Fence – commonly used to refer to support interactions that seem to thrive on shuffling tickets back and forth between users

You have IPv6!

You’re on IPv4.
