VitalQIP by Cygna Labs Corp offers comprehensive IP address management and high-performance DHCP and DNS services. VitalQIP enables network engineers to manage multi-vendor, multi-platform DHCP and DNS via a single web interface. It is a powerful DDI platform for managing modern IP networks across multi-clouds, LAN/WAN/SDWAN/SASE, IoT, and BYOD initiatives. The intuitive web user interface simplifies and automates DDI capabilities. VitalQIP offers extensive automation and extensibility features, including APIs for REST and SOAP/XML, integrated discovery features, and command line interfaces (CLIs) for DDI functions. VitalQIP manages DDI in large IPv4/IPv6 networks globally, supporting stock DHCP and DNS implementations from Microsoft and ISC, as well as custom services, with high performance and resilience. High availability DHCP failover and a diverse DNS updating mechanism ensure continuity of DHCP and DNS services during network or server outages. VitalQIP provides IP address management through its web interface and API/CLIs. It offers DDI support, including Internet Registry reporting, hierarchical block management, subnets, pools, individual IP objects, DNS zones, and resource records. VitalQIP Appliances offer hardened secure hardware and virtualized DHCP, DNS, and IPAM (DDI) appliances managed with the Appliance Manager. VitalQIP is deployable as software or as hardened pre-installed hardware and virtual appliances, providing centralized control and flexible deployment on premises or in the cloud. The QIP Appliance Manager enables administrators to configure and manage distributed QIP appliances from a centralized interface. It maintains an inventory of deployed appliances, tracks appliance services versions, applies patches and rollbacks, and monitors DHCP and DNS services on QIP appliances. VitalQIP incorporates a centralized repository of DDI audit events, while the DDI Guard software adds a layer of DDI transaction forensics and trend reporting. VitalQIP software offers a set of DDI security features to secure the DDI infrastructure and audit DDI changes. Transaction logging provides visibility and forensics. DHCP and DNS transactions are critical for troubleshooting and cyber threat investigations. VitalQIP centralizes DDI events and administrator changes for tracking and forensics analysis. VitalQIP DNS services support additional DNS security features that enhance network security. DNS firewall supports multiple response policy feeds, block lists, and allow lists to detect and prevent malware queries to command and control (C2) centers. DNSSEC signing and validation secure the integrity of published and resolved DNS data. DNS access control options filter permitted query access. VitalQIP offers a repository of audit events from DDI changes and events reported from DHCP and DNS servers. The DDI Guard software provides visibility and reporting for DNS and DHCP transactions on servers. DDI Guard provides graphical reporting of DNS and DHCP traffic, allowing users to analyze time-series summary trends and drill down to specific DNS and DHCP packets for forensics analysis.
