Name Commander Features

The Name Commander Web Browser GUI

Quickly Update Domains Using Time-Saving GUI

A web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) includes wizards, forms, and templates to speed up record creation and editing, and also to minimize errors or incomplete data. It provides mass-editing functions for instant, network-wide changes using Policies and Templates, and facilitates quick import of 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. It also allows domain searches 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.

Simultaneously Manage Multiple Name Servers

Multiple administrators can manage the system without affecting the resolver performance. Management overhead for the resolvers is minimal as all of the management functions are being performed at the domain management level and are then pushed out to the Controlled Name Servers (CNS).

Enhance Data Security and Integrity

Comprehensive security includes login protection; access control lists (ACLs) for domains, zones, and records; and auditing to track historical changes and user-initiated sessions. Further restrict user activity by assigning different levels of roles from the highest and all encompassing privileges to entity-level user privileges with own domain self-management.

Name Commander's Diagnostics Tools

Reduce Operating Costs and Downtime

Name Commander's diagnostic and auditing tools 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, the tools will enforce that forward records have corresponding reverse record mappings to eliminate errors such as DNS spoofing.

Automatically Manage Dynamic DNS and Slave Zones

Through the Synchronization Service (SS), Name Commander automatically captures the addition and deletion of DNS records by the DHCP server so that users can view the updates dynamically from the Web Management Console. Following the same process through the SS, Name Commander also captures the synchronization of zones between the master (primary) DNS server and slave (secondary) servers so that users would not need to access each Control Name Server to record updates.

Reduce VoIP Transaction Costs using the ENUM Management Functionality (optional)

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.

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

Name Commander supports full featured CORBA and Java SDK APIs to enable back-office integration.

Name commander also seamlessly integrates with Incognito's Address Commander IP Address Management (IPAM) solution to perform auditing, diagnostic and configuration of related DNS information directly from one management console. The integration enables automatic configuration of hostnames, in-addr.arpa zones, PTR records and classless delegations. These changes are diagnosed for DNS accuracy and automatically synchronized between your IPAM and DNS servers.

Name Commander's Customer Self-Management Portal

Enable Customer Self-Management with the Customer Portal (optional)

Internal divisions or business customers can self-manage their own domains and resources to maximize efficiency within granular limitations using the End User Domain Management Console (EDMC) customer portal.

Support IPv4 and IPv6 Infrastructure

Name Commander's infrastructure is designed to support both IPv4 and IPv6 resource records. The features and functionalities associated with the new IETF protocol are now available for implementation.

Distribute the Load and Scale the Deployment to Your Business

Name Commander's DNS management components can be installed on one centralized machine or multiple units for load distribution. Due to the system's scalability, Name Commander's deployment can range in scale to manage as many CNS as required.
