EfficientIP launches end-to-end network design and deployment solution

EfficientIP has announced the launch of NetChange, a new, agile network management solution that fully integrates configuration with design to enable organisations to deploy their network infrastructure faster and error-free. By employing NetChange, organisations can eradicate unnecessary cost and downtime, caused by poorly planned network changes.

Using a single web-based User Interface the NetChange integrates directly with EfficientIP’s Device Manager solution, enabling network designers to create and visualise a network’s architecture and then deploy the new network directly from the new design. NetChange has been developed in response to the growing need of large enterprises, Telco’s and ISPs to rebuild and reduce the cost of sprawling networks. Internet and Telco giants such as AT&T and Google, are examples of organisations that are revamping the networks within their data centres in order to make significant cost savings.

“Network configuration has long been considered a labour-intensive task requiring skilled, costly administrators, that is inherently vulnerable to human error,” said David Williamson, CEO at EfficientIP. “Organisations of all sizes are having to review their network design due to the increased demands that are being placed on the infrastructure by today’s data-driven and mobile workforce. Network architects are increasingly demanding a more rapid and error-free way to take their infrastructure designs through to deployment and with NetChange we can now provide them with the means to do this.”

NetChange is the latest development from EfficientIP and follows the release of its SOLIDserver v5.0.3 last month, which introduced an industry-first Hybrid DNS engine to counter Denial of Service attacks. It reinforces the company’s fully integrated approach to managing the complete chain of network resource allocations, from IP addresses, VLAN and DNS to devices and network interfaces.
