SolidDNS™ Benefits
DNSSEC
Beginning with version 3.0, the SolidDNS™ secure DNS and DHCP appliance platform from InfoWeapons boasts extensive support for DNSSEC using graphical management interfaces. The appliance provides tools for managing cryptographic keys and features automated bulk zone signing, automatic zone re-signing, automatic key rollover, user-specified key lifetimes, and can act as an authoritative DNSSEC server.
Dual-Stack
Most existing networks will have to make the inevitable shift to the Next Generation Internet, also known as IPv6. Any server, to be at its most effective when deployed over these networks, must be able to listen to and accept connections over both IPv4 and IPv6 architectures. The SolidDNS™ appliance has support for both IPv4 and IPv6, eliminating the need for separate IPv4 and IPv6 servers, reducing costs and providing administrators a simplified method of managing and controlling both networks.
Simplified Migration
With SolidDNS™ automatic DNS updates, and BIND and Active Directory Support, network migration and management is simplified. With our DNS appliance, networks are automatically updated if changes in network names occur, eliminating the possibility of misconfiguring your network's DNS appliances.
Easy DNS Management and Maintenance
Management and maintenance is easier with the SolidDNS™ Management System. Aside from the web-based graphical interface, SolidDNS™ offers a secure serial interface for basic system configuration and an Application Programming Interface (API) to automate interaction with other systems. All interfaces are designed to configure and control the SolidDNS™ appliance in such a way that even administrators with minimal knowledge on DNS can do so without any hassle.
Built-in Security
SolidDNS™ has comprehensive support for high-level security and management features. Built on a hardened FreeBSD variant, SolidDNS™ can withstand scans and attacks from any organization, maintaining the lowest level of exposure to any external security threats. System management and control done over SSL/TLS ensures protection for any administrative procedure. Strong client authentication, IPv6 error-correction and real-time DNS and system status reporting, together with other security features, make the SolidDNS™ appliance the most secure DNS appliance in the market to date.
Straightforward Configuration
Administrative tasks are easily accomplished with SolidDNS™ wizards. Administrators without specific knowledge on DNS or even junior administrators can use this simple and intuitive graphical user interface.
