Managing Business Customer IP Requests
The Challenge
- The cumbersome task of managing of static IP addresses handed out to business customers
- Ensuring address space is properly and uniquely allocated to business customers
- Accurately configuring authoritative DNS
- Properly decommissioning services; managing churn
The Solution
Address Commander and Name Commander work together to resolve these issues in an automated manner. Name Commander propagates any changes to DNS records and configuration data across all servers in real-time, while Address Commander automates many of the tasks required to safely provide static, routable IPv4 and IPv6 space to end customers.
- Automates many of the tasks required to safely provide static, routable IPv4 and IPv6 space to end customers
- Allows resources, such as IPv4 and IPv6 ranges, static IP assignments, and DNS authoritative data, to be directly associated to a business or wholesale customer
- Allows service providers to easily tag and assign address blocks
- Associates resources to specific business or wholesale customers
- Provides portal for customer service representatives or business customers to review the current status of the resources associated with the end customer
- Facilitates a proper decommissioning process by giving sufficient time to business customers and networks to adjust to the changes before IP resources are given to other customers
- Propagates any changes to DNS records and configuration data across all servers in real-time
