SOLIDserver integrates with the embedded IPAM in EC2 and VPC in order to provide full visibility in the central repository of the enterprise to resources hosted in the cloud. This synchronization is part of the Cloud Observer feature, fully automated and secured through AWS APIs and IAM profile.
Google Cloud
SOLIDserver is able to retrieve information with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) IAAS solution in order to synchronize IPAM, enhance network automation and provide visibility for on premise and cloud deployed servers in the GCP environment. This synchronization is part of the Cloud Observer feature, fully automated and secured through GCP APIs.
ServiceNow
EfficientIP DDI integrates with ServiceNow, enabling end-to-end automation of IT life cycle management. ITSM workflows are often used in enterprises; when steps of the workflow are performed automatically the user is served faster and errors are avoided. IP and DNS configuration tasks are mandatory in most infrastructure operations. They are relatively simple acts but when performed manually require team resources availability, impacting delivery velocity. The “Activity Pack” created provides all necessary tools for easily interacting with SOLIDserver’s API from any workflow defined in ServiceNow, helping to reduce complexity, accelerate service rollout, ensured policy enforcement and error-free configurations.
Tufin
The EfficientIP partnership with Tufin offers a leading solution for security automation and compliance auditing activities. Combining SecureTrack with EfficientIP DDI guarantees error-free and automated real time configurations for ensuring defined security policies are adhered to.
A market leader of Security Policy Orchestration solutions, Tufin helps streamline management of security policies across complex, heterogeneous environments. Tufin designs, provisions, analyzes and audits network security configuration changes.
Aruba
Aruba and EfficientIP have partnered to securely manage user and device access control for enterprise networks. Together, we ensure secure user policy enforcement combined with DDI level event detection.
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, is the global leader in secure, intelligent edge-to-cloud networking solutions that use AI to automate the network while harnessing data to drive powerful business outcomes.
Red Hat
EfficientIP is a Red Hat Independent Software Vendor, integrated with Ansible for automation and dynamic inventory and with OpenStack Neutron for IPAM synchronization of networking information in the DDI solution.
Red Hat is the world’s leading open source technology solutions provider with offerings including: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, open source applications, security and systems management, virtualization, Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions, Java application software and services.
HashiCorp Terraform
As a fundamental repository of IP and infrastructure information, SOLIDserver can be used through a specific provider to manipulate all the DDI objects. This provider is distributed as open source and constantly evolving with the open API of our DDI solution.
Terraform is an infrastructure as code solution that enables life cycle management, reproducible set-up and cloud cost optimization.
OpenStack
SOLIDserver is compatible with the neutron networking service as an IPAM component and also proposes an NFV version of its solution for specific elastic infrastructure, mainly used in 5G design.
OpenStack is a strong pillar for cloud infrastructures, it allows creation of a dedicated cloud including computing, networking and storage. It helps corporations run their own internal cloud solution and service providers to propose infrastructure as a service solution for their clients.
Python
The SOLIDserver Python library allows easy integration of the DDI solution into existing solutions and specific ad-hoc scripts to ease administration and ecosystem interactions.
As a standard development language, python is used for data manipulation by analysts, but also in many infrastructure solutions.
Red Hat Ansible
Network Object Manager is seen by Ansible as an inventory manager and helps administrators build their device list with the rich metadata model of the DDI engine.
Ansible is an IT automation engine for cloud provisioning, application deployment and configuration management. Mainly used by sysadmins, it is now widely used by many persons in I&O in order to automate action, manage a large set of equipment and servers and perform configuration actions which would otherwise be time-consuming and error-prone if performed manually.
EfficientIP is also proposing an inventory module for ansible that leverages information in its Device Manager product to apply playbooks.
