• Errors in IP addressing and DNS and DHCP management are the major sources of downtime in IP networks. As businesses continue to optimize around IP and begin exploring strategies for policy-enabled networking, it becomes increasingly important to eliminate these errors.
  
  
• Simplifying IP addressing is at the core of Optivity NetID functionality. Providing an overall view of an organization's IP address architecture, NetID removes the major technical barriers to DHCP implementations by enabling dynamic DNS updates and DHCP redundancy while implementing full redundancy at every level of the product.
  
  
• From a central management platform, Optivity NetID manages both static and dynamic addresses as well as all NetID DNS and DHCP servers. Optivity NetID automates complex management tasks, reducing the time a network manager has to devote to IP and to DNS and DHCP management.
  
  
• Tracking IP addresses, maintaining DNS and DHCP services, and performing manual configuration tasks is time consuming and error prone. Optivity NetID automates these tasks.
  
  
• With Optivity NetID, IP address tracking plus DNS and DHCP management become simple administrative tasks. The difficulty in synchronizing DNS and DHCP services has deterred many organizations from taking advantage of the administrative savings DHCP offers. By integrating DNS and DHCP services, Optivity NetID enables dynamic DNS updates and overcomes this barrier.
