IP address management projects not a priority for IT
http://www.networkworld.com/nlnsm189655 Corporate networks
depend on IP to run smoothly, but that doesn't mean projects
designed to streamline IP address management (IPAM) processes
get top priority in most IT shops, survey results reveal.
Tools cure IP address management headaches
http://www.networkworld.com/nlnsm189656 IP address management
tools aren't sexy, but they can certainly take the tedium out of
the necessary and difficult task of tracking IP addresses and
DNS names across an enterprise network.
Justifying the payoff of IP address management
http://www.networkworld.com/nlnsm189657 IP address management
(IPAM) is one of those areas that continues to grow in
importance as TCP/IP becomes the de-facto standard for corporate
networks. It's also an area that is just recently starting to
see an appropriate level of automation. A new paper by Infoblox,
available here, examines this need for automated management in
detail. According to Greg Lanier, Infoblox director of marketing
communications: "It's kind of mind blowing that most people are
still doing this on spreadsheets. You shouldn't be managing some
of your most critical network assets with Excel."
How we tested IP address management tools
http://www.networkworld.com/nlnsm189658 The Proteus/Adonis,
VitalQIP, and IPControl product have professional services
included in their prices. We scheduled a time for a
representative professional engineer to come to our lab and set
up their product. Only one company was allowed at a time. With
EasyIP, we set up a Windows Server 2003 machine with IIS and
.Netv1.1 and then installed the EasyIP software. The next step
was to populate the product's database with the test data which
we accomplished through the data import/export test.
Whirlpool gives IP address management a spin
