Core Network Services
Core network services such as DNS (Domain Name System),
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) and RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-In User Server – an old term used in the days of
dial-up!) are critical components of nearly every transaction over the network
and are essentially the glue that binds together networks, users, devices, applications and policies.
Such is their
importance that any failure has the ability to immediately bring down the network and its applications, costing businesses
time and money in lost productivity and revenue.
Unifying the approach to core network services particularly in the
light of the complexity of new IP applications such as IP Telephony offers huge benefits to companies in operational efficiencies,
security and auditing.
