EfficientIP SOLIDserver IPAM for Microsoft is an IP Address Management solution designed to extend and complement Microsoft's native DNS and DHCP infrastructure. It provides centralized, unified management of IP addresses, DNS, and DHCP services across Microsoft environments without requiring additional software installation on Microsoft DNS or DHCP servers (agentless architecture). The solution maintains a centralized repository that acts as the single source of truth for IP resources, synchronizing with Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers in real time. It supports management of VLAN/VRF and network interfaces from a single web-based interface. Key capabilities include: - SmartArchitecture templates for automated deployment and management of DNS/DHCP architectures across groups of Microsoft servers - Disaster recovery support by storing Microsoft DNS and DHCP configurations and pushing them to replacement servers upon failure - Open REST APIs for integration with orchestrators, cloud-native environments, and the broader IT ecosystem - Reporting, auditing, and threshold-based alerting for compliance and troubleshooting - Policy-driven automation to reduce manual tasks and enforce configuration consistency - NetChange integration for network device discovery and verification - Support for millions of IP addresses and thousands of appliances, addressing scalability limitations of Microsoft's native IPAM Authentication protocols used are based on strong authentication and integrate with Active Directory architecture and domain controllers.
