ManageEngine CloudDNS (DDI Central) is an integrated DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IPAM) management solution designed to centralize, automate, and secure the administration of core network services. The platform provides a unified interface for managing DNS zones and records, DHCP scopes, and IP address inventories across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. It supports dynamic DNS (DDNS) for real-time updates, multivendor DNS integration, and bidirectional synchronization with major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare. CloudDNS offers advanced features like DNS load balancing, geo-based traffic steering, DDoS protection, and comprehensive analytics for domain queries and network health. Security is enhanced through transaction signature (TSIG)-based authentication, DNS firewalling, and response rate limiting. The solution is scalable for organizations of any size, providing centralized visibility, automation tools, and compliance support for efficient and resilient network operations.
