Organizations rely heavily on the internet for their day-to-day
operations, and a crucial aspect of this reliance is the Domain Name
System (DNS). However, traditional DNS solutions can be slow,
unreliable, and vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can result in
service downtime and loss of business. To address these challenges,
organizations are increasingly turning to cloud-based DNS solutions.
The cloud technology reduces the need for servers in data centers and
enables the use of services provided by cloud providers. With the
cloud model, organizations can swiftly build and only pay for the
resources they use. This results in lower operating expenses for
businesses when they extend their data centers into the cloud. As a
result, the traditional role of a system administrator in managing
on-premises servers is becoming less relevant. In the cloud, it takes
only a few minutes to set up a compute node with the required
software, compared to the days or weeks it could take for a system
administrator to build a server from scratch in a customer-owned data
center.
When extending data centers into the
cloud, tasks such as network provisioning and DNS record management
are made easier by utilizing the cloud provider's model. However,
keeping up with the rapid demand and pace of DNS record updates can
be challenging for DNS administrators. Additionally, managing DNS
records in multiple Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), such as those
offered by Amazon's AWS, Google, and Microsoft's Azure, can become
complicated when attempting to update a central DNS database. As
organizations expand their data centers into multiple clouds, the
demand for resources in the compute, network, and storage spaces can
increase exponentially. Traditional IPAMs are often unable to manage
these DNS challenges in the cloud. TCPWave bridges this gap and
resolves the challenges enterprises face when adopting cloud
technology. The TCPWave DDI solution is a comprehensive DNS, DHCP, and
IP address management solution that can be hosted either on-premises
or in the cloud. When hosted in the cloud, TCPWave DDI offers several
cloud-specific features that make it a popular choice among
organizations looking for a reliable and scalable DNS solution. With
TCPWave's cloud capabilities, organizations can quickly deploy and
configure new services without the need for physical infrastructure,
reducing the time-to-market and increasing agility.
