DDI Central architecture for Microsoft DNS-DHCP clusters

DDI Central Application Architechture with WinRM

DDI Central deploys agentless communication setup for centralized management Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers. Installing the Management UI Console gives you the central management interface to control your DNS and DHCP servers. This provides a streamlined, secure, and efficient way to administer these core network services of large scale remote sites from one unified interface. By leveraging thebelow robust built-in WinRM protocol, administrators can maintain control over their infrastructure with minimal overhead and maximum security.

 

The image below emphasizes the central management capability of DDI Central using WinRM, highlighting the ability to manage distributed DNS and DHCP servers across different office locations(distributed remote sites) securely via HTTP and HTTPS protocols. The Management UI Console in the main office acts as the centralized hub, ensuring continuous visibility into all configurations and management actions, while still allowing independent control over servers in the branch offices.

 

The above diagram depicts a typical Windows network infrastructure managed via DDI Central. The 2 remote Branch office DNS-DHCP clusters communicate with DDI console via WinRM protocol ensuring continuous visibility. For this, WinRM setup is required in your infrastructure, as mentioned in Microsoft System Pre-requisites.
