Fragmented DDI slows your business down

Hodgepodge DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) processes create significant operational challenges, hindering change and leaving your network susceptible to security gaps. Without a centralized foundation, the difficulty of managing network services will grow unchecked as networks expand, diversify across clouds, and adapt to new security challenges. 

Unified DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IPAM are together known as DDI) consolidates, automates, and streamlines the core network services that connect devices, applications, and people across your network, whether on-premises or in any cloud. It’s also the key to network automation, which is the only way to get on top of change. 

The result is a network that can adapt more quickly to support initiatives like SASE, SD-WAN, remote work, wide-scale AI adoption, and whatever comes next.

Unified DDI that meets you where you are

See everything

Streamline control of the entire IP and DNS environment from a centralized UI—across data centers, branches, and clouds

Create network agility

Use powerful automations to eradicate manual tasks and ensure your network can adapt to new business requirements

Embrace multicloud

Get a single source of truth and optimize DNS resolution across every data center and cloud

Build faster

Empower cloud and DevOps teams to provision and deprovision the network resources they need to build, deploy, and scale new apps and services

The foundation for Intelligent NetOps

DDI isn’t the end of the road. When you integrate network management tools with end-to-end observability and intelligence, connecting the core services that administer your network to the systems that understand it, you bridge the gap between the systems that manage your network and the systems that change it.

The best unified DDI products for scale and automation

We offer DDI in two flavors, Integrity and Micetro, to meet specific network contexts.

Integrity: API-first, extensible full-stack platform

Deploy Integrity on dedicated servers to manage, provision, secure, and visualize your network across any data center, cloud, and branch location. Integrity integrates perfectly with third-party systems or applications via open, well-documented, and vendor-agnostic RESTful APIs to support end-to-end network automation.

Frequently asked questions

DDI stands for DNS (Domain Name System), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and IP address management (IPAM).

A DDI solution automates and centralizes DNS, DHCP, and IP address management, ensuring efficient network operations, security, and scalability.

DDI solutions centralize DNS, DHCP, and IPAM, simplify role creation, and enhance visibility, empowering IT teams to focus on what matters most: keeping the network running smoothly, securely, and efficiently.

It improves network reliability, automation, security, scalability, and visibility, reducing manual errors and simplifying IT operations.

Unified DDI isn’t just about simplifying IT but transforming operations. From enhanced visibility and control to automation and unmatched reliability, the operational benefits of a unified DDI platform are undeniable.

It simplifies network management, reduces manual errors, ensures high availability, and enhances security, especially for growing or complex IT environments.

Unified DDI is a business transformation tool that empowers organizations to reduce costs, mitigate risks, and embrace digital innovation. It’s an investment in agility, security, and growth for enterprises looking to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving world.

It reduces attack surfaces, detects threats at the DNS level, and enforces policies to prevent malicious activity and unauthorized access.

DDI solutions equip features such as centralized policy enforcement, real-time threat detection, and automated response capabilities. BlueCat’s unified DDI eliminates these challenges by providing a centralized platform that offers real-time insight into all DNS zones, DHCP scopes, and IP address usage.
