SMARTARCHITECTURE TM : DNS-DHCP ARCHITECTURE MANAGEMENT

Transcription

1 Datasheet SMARTARCHITECTURE TM : - ARCHITECTURE MANAGEMENT Go Beyond & Server Manage Architectures Even if & architecture configurations have been simplified with a GUI (Graphical User Interface), it is still complex and expensive. It requires experts to deploy and configure all servers in coherent environments of & services. There is not a process to check the relevance of your server configurations against your needs and best practices. This complexity increases the risks in term of security and availability of your network services. EfficientIP offers the SmartArchitecture TM, a unique technology to intelligently simplify and automate design, deployment and management of vital & services. This technology ensures: Secure and reliable architecture designs Intelligent policy-driven deployment automation for best practices enforcement Highlights: State-of-the-Art and Architectures Templates Configuration, Deployment and Automation Best Practices Enforcement Reduced Complexity and TCO Simple, Secure and Flexible Network Services Comprehensive unified management for end-to-end control of your - infrastructure SmartArchitecture TM is compatible with EfficientIP s & appliances SOLIDserver TM, Microsoft Windows & servers, and Open source servers (ISC Bind and ISC ) providing a smooth integration with existing services.

Thanks to SmartArchitecture, EfficientIP offers the capability to deploy and manage your & services at the architecture level. SmartArchitecture is a library of state-of-the-art templates of & architectures, applied on a group of Multi-Vendor servers (Microsoft, Open source, SO- LIDserver ) to automatically deploy and manage the architecture as a single entity. Based on the selected SmartArchitecture, the SOLIDserver centralized management platform will automatically configure all & servers belonging to the SmartArchitecture according to their individual role within the selected template. It is no longer necessary to manually configure each server in order to build the & architecture; the entire process is now carried out automatically. Step1 Select your Architecture Pseudo Step2 Import your Data Step3 Insert your Servers Pseudo data Hidden Step 1 Select the or architecture template to be deployed from the catalogue. In this example the selected SmartArchitecture is a "Stealth " architecture. Step 2 Import data (zones and RRs) from the centralized management platform (SOLID ) within the SmartArchitecture. Step 3 Define the role of each server within the SmartArchitecture (primary hidden, pseudo master, and slaves). Done! Your Architecture is Deployed and Operating Done! All or servers belonging to the SmartArchitecture are automatically configured by the centralized management platform to establish a communication path among SOLIDservers (or multi-vendor servers), securing communication flow and synchronizing data.

SmartArchitecture Catalog SmartArchitecture Catalog Single: Single: One server is in the SmartArchitecture One server in the SmartArchitecture MULTIMASTER Single Single FAILOVER : One server is elected as master and others are slaves failover One to One: A pair of servers in active-active failover - Failover One to One Pseudo Hidden Stealth Stealth : One server is elected as hidden master, one as pseudo master and others are slaves. The master can be deployed as a cluster with a VIP. Star Failover FAILOVER failover Many to One (Star failover): Centralized failover in active-active mode Microsoft: Multi : All servers are s 80% Split Scope 20% Microsoft split scope between 2 servers MULTIMASTER Multi- Farm: A load balancer is deployed in front of the architecture. servers are not visible to clients who identify the load balancer as servers.

Freedom from deployment complexity: Automate & services architecture deployment. Ease of management: Simplify the management of your network services by directly managing the architecture and automating all server configurations. SmartArchitecture Motion: Ease of architecture migration and reorganization with Drag and Drop architecture changes. 1. SmartArchitecture Migration: It is easy and fast to migrate from one architecture to another, such as from -slave to a stealth architecture. The migration process is simplified at the highest level by editing the - SmartArchitecture template in use and applying the new Stealth SmartArchitecture template. All modifications required on all servers belonging to the SmartArchitecture will be carried out by the centralized management platform, following the new template. It is no longer required for the administrator to perform the required modifications server by server Select and apply the new SmartArchitecture 4 2The architecture migration is carried out by the central appliance - Multi Hidden Pseudo Stealth

SmartArchitecture Modification: It is easy and fast to add or remove a server from an architecture. For example, an administrator only needs to select and insert a new slave server within the - SmartArchitecture, and the centralized management platform will automatically configure this new member accordingly, with no additional complex tasks for the administrator. This new slave server will have its data synchronized and be declared to the and viceversa. Stronger and simpler disaster recovery in multivendor environments: In addition to the built-in disaster recovery process based on the real-time replication of the distributed database, SmartArchitecture offers an additional way to reinstate a crashed server. The crashed server can be replaced in just a few minutes by a new server. The centralized management platform will detect that the new server is not compliant with the architecture or data of the SmartArchitecture in place, and will then automatically configure and synchronize the server according to its particular role within the SmartArchitecture. No complex tasks must be performed by the administrator. Another advantage of this mechanism is that it works in multi-vendor & environments including Microsoft & servers. 1Add the new slave server in the SmartArchitecture - Multi 2 The Central appliance configures all servers within the SmartArchitecture - Multi - Multi

6 Datasheet SMARTARCHITECTURE TM : - ARCHITECTURE MANAGEMENT Go Beyond & Server Manage Architectures SmartArchitecture : Global - Architecture SmartArchitecture is a breakthrough in network services management efficiency, delivering unmatched levels of reliability, scalability and flexibility. SmartArchitecture enables you to perform complex administration tasks easily and in just a few minutes. Migration of / to Stealth or multi- is automatically done by selecting the ad hoc SmartArchitecture to apply on the servers. It is now easy to add or remove servers from the architecture; the centralized management appliance will automatically manage all configuration file modifications. In addition, EfficientIP s SmartArchitecture is fully compatible and enables automated deployment of Hybrid Architectures. You can easily design, deploy and manage a architecture with servers running BIND and servers running NSD with SmartArchitecture templates.
