Key Aspects of VitalQIP Technology include the following:

Innovative Profiling Capabilities

• With VitalQIP software and the appliance solution, you can easily create a base of network and customer information that allows you to define and manage subnets and network services

Flexible Subnet Management

• Today’s networks must be updated constantly to keep up with frequent moves, mergers, and reorganizations that cause address space to become fragmented

Customizable User Interface

• VitalQIP software delivers a user interface that streamlines operations and allows you to plan, model, and build an IP network that truly reflects your organization’s structure and goals

Ability to Change DNS Options on Multiple Domains Simultaneously 

• The ability to modify multiple domains simultaneously can greatly reduce operational expenses of configuring the network

Windows Support

• VitalQIP software continues its market-leading support of Microsoft Windows DNS/DHCP servers with support of sites, subnets, and secure zones in Active Directory

DNS & DHCP Server Compatibility

• VitalQIP supports BIND-compliant DNS servers. The Alcatel-Lucent DHCP Server can update both primary and secondary DNS servers with resource record information as DHCP leases are granted and deleted

End-to-end Feature Rich Appliance Solution

• Centralized appliance management data store to keep track of services and status of remote appliances
• Automated software upgrade capability with rollback options
• Highly secure communication between AMS and appliances with unique appliance key generation
• Logical grouping of appliances for ease of upgrades
• Remote start/stop/initialize of services
• High availability using heartbeat and virtual address mechanism

Value-Added Modules:

• Audit Manager enables you to track the usage history of an IP address and the associated user or group
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Module provides visibility into the network services engines running your DNS and DHCP protocols and helps you maximize the overall uptime performance of these services
• Usage-Based Billing Interface collects and tracks IP address assignments and links each address to a billing location or group
• API Toolkit allows you to extend and integrate the VitalQIP system into other critical network applications
• Network Allocator allows you to automate the creation of subnets
• Services Manager is specifically designed for the server administrator, enabling any administrator with access privilege to verify the operation of the DHCP and DNS environment
• Registration Manager streamlines network administration and enhances address tracking by authenticating each enterprise user and dynamically allocating an IP address based on a profile that can be mapped to levels of service to which the user is entitled
• AutoDiscovery provides a snapshot of the IP/Ethernet network "as is"
• ENUM Manager provides the ability to administrate ENUM records in the VitalQIP® database and manage and update Lucent DNS servers
