Five Reasons Why DDI Powers The Hybrid Workplace

A combination of on-premises and cloud-delivered DNS, DHCP, and IPAM.

A mature DDI solution is an important foundational tool for powering the hybrid office model. It enables manageable, reliable, centralized network services along with additional capabilities to sustain hybrid infrastructure, even with the expansion to multi-cloud environments, multi-device proliferation, and an increasing number of remote users.5,6 Let’s take a look at the principal advantages achieved through powering your hybrid workplace with enterprise-grade DDI.^7,8

One: Boost uptime and maintain business continuity

The reliability of integrated core network services provided by a robust DDI solution is critical to ensuring network uptime and business continuity for your hybrid organization. All branch and remote office locations maintain access to cloud-based applications. Should a security event occur, IT teams can quickly and easily access historical network interactions and logs from a single location.

Two: Centralize and enhance visibility

As your hybrid workplace grows more distributed, it can become harder to know what’s on your network and which devices are at risk – or already compromised. Modern DDI is a platform that centralizes data and provides complete visibility into all network users and assets across on-premises, remote, and cloud infrastructure, enabling your business to maintain compliance among people, systems, and data.

Three: Secure the hybrid workplace

Easily extend headquarters protection to everyone, regardless of location. In hybrid work environments, people access your network from any device or location, including homes and remotes sites. IoT devices introduce additional risk, and data breaches from malware and other threats come with a high price tag. Integrated DDI embeds security everywhere so people can work safely from anywhere.

Four: Simplify and automate network services

Eliminate errors and the need for manual intervention by automating the provisioning of devices and IP addresses. Apply policies uniformly across all remote sites. Full-stack DDI solutions allow for extensive API integration so that disparate systems work in unison enabling your business to move at cloud speed.

Five: Scale with agility and slash operating costs

Support transformation and meet fast-evolving business needs by quickly adding new virtual and containerized instances of DDI to any location anywhere. Reduce costs by replacing legacy server-based DNS and DHCP solutions with virtualized and containerized DDI appliances deployed on-site and managed from the cloud.
