Whether you are using ISC DHCP/KEA or Windows, deploying and managing a DHCP service comes with its own set of headaches:
- Initial DHCP setup requires in-depth configuration expertise and detailed knowledge
- Updating DHCP configurations is time-consuming & error prone
- The impact of misconfiguration is high – a typo could bring down your network
- Poor visibility of current IP address usage and historic lease data
- Difficulties implementing redundancy and maintaining an ‘always on’ DHCP service – particularly during server maintenance and upgrades
- Accessing DHCP servers across multiple remote sites typically requires VPN tunnels, open firewall ports, or physical access — there’s no straightforward path to central management
Whether you’re an enterprise with large IP phone deployments or BYOD schemes to manage or an ISP that needs to dynamically assign addresses to customer routers, a dedicated DHCP appliance can help. It will simplify day-to-day administration, improve visibility & control of IP usage and provide a high level of resilience and availability.
Just need DHCP? We’ve perfected the dedicated DHCP server
With increasing need for stand-alone, on-prem DHCP as organisations move infrastructure to cloud services, we’ve further enhanced performance and introduced new central management and failover functionality.
