Global DDI Market By Component (Solution, Services), By Deployment Mode (On-premise, Cloud), By Application (Network Automation, Virtualization and Cloud, Data Center Transformation, Network Security, Other Applications), By Enterprise Size, By Industry Vertical, By Region and Key Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2021–2031

Introduction –

DDI is a collective reference term covering Domain Name System (DNS), IP Address Management (IPAM), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DNS ensures the association of IP addresses and host names. It supports access routing to almost all services and applications to keep Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) web traffic and network traffic unblocked.

DHCP provides dynamic IP address allocation for nodes logging in to a network, as well as configuration functions that are automatically inherited from the address plan tree. IPAM supports these critical technologies by effectively managing the IP addresses of the entire network.

IPAM, DNS, DHCP solutions are important tools for the management of different enterprises. In recent trends, DDI solutions can reduce Operating Expenses (OPEX) related to IPAM, DNS, and DHCP by more than 50%, which may aid in lowering the number of employees in large enterprises.

In addition, DDI offers several functions, such as lowers attacks against the surge of Bringing Your Own Device (BYOD) to a workplace, the reduction of OPEX, DNS servers, and the emergence of the ‘Internet of Things (IoT) platforms.

When IPAM, DNS, and DHCP are managed separately, they can lead to avoidable risks. However, with the help of a centralized solution, network administrators can view and control their network from a single management platform. Specifically, this provides administrators with several core benefits:  the ability to automate maintenance tasks, enhanced backgrounds on audits and reports, a better understanding of potential conflicts when updating data from one service or another, improves efficiency, and improved security, resilience, etc.

Market Dynamics –

The Internet of Things (IoT) supports communication between physical devices embedded in electronic devices and software to collect data. The framework that accomplishes this is called an IoT platform. Presently, most companies are adopting IoT solutions to facilitate their processes and operations. The realization of an IoT platform requires a large number of devices, frameworks, and IP services.

An IoT platform of this scale and level requires a dynamic and powerful DDI solution. Therefore, the increasing demand for IoT platforms may boost the demand for commercial DDI solutions. Customers using a central framework for IoT projects need DDI to manage large-scale IP addresses. Using DDI based on the IoT platform can provide efficient operational advantages for vendors who deploy internally managed IoT platforms, automated DNS, or diversified IPv6.

IP addresses are an important part of the network, as their number increases, handling them becomes more complicated. Most enterprise applications need to communicate using internet protocols. It becomes very important to manage all the necessary IP addresses because it enables devices to communicate. IPAM is a way for companies to track and manage IP addresses on the network. Generally, IPAM integrates DHCP and DNS, allowing real-time automatic updates.

IPAM also provides security for enterprises because its data includes information such as the IP address in use, which devices each IP is assigned to, and respective timestamps. IPAM helps comply with internal policies, which can be enforced using the Network Access System (NAC) system and IPAM data. These factors may help to increase the revenue trajectory of this global industry over the next decade.

The network of any organization is completely dependent on IP addresses and is an important part of the network. As the company begins to expand its business, the number of IP addresses used on its network will subsequently increase. Most network applications need to allocate IP’s as an enterprise grows.

In the growth stage, organizations need to abandon manual management of IP, DHCP, and DNS, which must properly manage IP data. By implementing ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD), other mobile devices, and network endpoints, an organization’s network becomes more complex and chaotic. Most companies also use virtualization to decentralize resources for the execution of their business strategies but ultimately double their IP load.

Integrating a DDI solution into an existing complex network becomes a time-consuming task because implementation is important in migrating and managing a current network’s infrastructure to a new optimized and organized network structure. These factors may hamper the revenue growth of this target market over the forecast period.
