Simplified Domain Name Management

Quickly Update Domains Using Time-Saving Interface

The web interface comes complete with wizards, forms, and templates to help you speed up record creation and editing, as well as minimize errors and incomplete data. You can use the mass-editing functions for instant network-wide changes as well as quickly import zones, records, and security data from other DNS systems.

The Name Commander interface displays domain data according to your needs — by customer, corporate division, administrator, or other entity. You can also search for domains by name, description, serial number, zone type, policy, owner, or create/modify time. Color-coding indicates which records are configurable and which are inherited from a local or global policy.

Automatically Manage Dynamic DNS and Slave Zones

Through its Synchronization Service, Name Commander automatically captures the addition and deletion of DNS records, allowing you to view updates dynamically from the Web Management Console. Following the same process through the Synchronization Service, Name Commander also captures the synchronization of zones between the master (primary) DNS server and slave (secondary) servers so you can record updates without having to access each control name server.

Enable Customer Self-Management with the Customer Portal

Using the customer portal, internal divisions and business customers can self-manage their own domains and resources quickly and efficiently.

Reduce VoIP Transaction Costs using the ENUM Management Functionality

Name Commander simplifies the management of DNS ENUM resource records, ensuring the costs saved through VoIP peering are not eroded in the operations and time spent on managing your DNS services.

Data Integrity

Enhance Data Security and Integrity

The comprehensive suite of security features includes login protection, access control lists, and auditing. You can use these features to enable access to domains, zones, and records, and to track historical changes and user-initiated sessions. Regulate user activity by assigning different permissions ranging from all encompassing privileges to entity-level user privileges.

Auditing Tools to Reduce Operating Costs and Downtime

You can use the diagnostic and auditing tools available in Name Commander to minimize server downtime. The diagnostic systems prevent users from pushing out zones that will cause an error in the DNS system, ensuring that best practices are followed. For example, errors such as DNS spoofing are prevented when forward records have corresponding reverse record mappings.

Scalability and Extensibility

Distribute Load and Scale Deployments to Suit Your Business

DNS management components can be installed on one central machine or on multiple units for load distribution. You can use the scalability of Name Commander to manage as many controlled name servers as your require.

Support IPv4 and IPv6 Infrastructure

Be ready to implement the new IPv6 standard. Name Commander is designed to support both IPv4 and IPv6 resource records. The features and functionalities associated with the IETF protocol are available for implementation.

Simultaneously Manage Multiple Name Servers

Multiple administrators can manage the system without affecting the resolver performance. All management functions are performed at the domain management level and are then pushed out to the controlled name servers.

Seamlessly Integrate with Back-Office Systems and IP Address Management Solution

Name Commander also integrates seamlessly with Address Commander, an IP address management software from Incognito. This integrated solution lets you perform auditing, diagnosis, and configuration of related DNS information directly from a single management console. You can also use it to enable automatic configuration of hostnames, in-addr.arpa zones, PTR records, and classless delegations. The changes you make are checked for DNS accuracy and automatically synchronized between your IPAM and DNS servers.
