TCPWave Software Appliances | Powerful DDI Solutions

1. INTRODUCTION

dns-architecture The TCPWave software appliances comprise the most powerful, flexible, and cost-effective software based DDI (DNS/DHCP/IPAM) solution in the industry today. Coupled with the TCPWave TW740, TW440 and TW240 hardware appliances, the TCPWave software appliances can be configured to meet the most demanding customer needs.

2. CONFIGURATIONS

TCPWave does not rate limit the software appliances like other DDI vendors. This means you can install TCPWave's software appliances on the platform of your choice without running into artificial limits, such as Memory, Disk, CPUs, NICs, etc.

The TCPWave software appliances are available in two orderable configurations:

IP Address Management (IPAM): Provides the necessary IPAM software infrastructure, including web-based user interface, database, secure communication software, disaster recovery, discovery, patch management, cloud management and other critical features, that allows you to define and manage your IPv4 and IPv6 address space (networks, subnets, objects, DNS/DHCP appliances, etc.)
Remote: Provides the secure communication layer along with DNS/DHCP and other network services (NTP, SNMP, resiliency) that are tailored to provide non-stop functionality.

FEATURES

Full Functionality: TCPWave IPAM and Remote (DNS/DHCP) images are available (same images as on our hardware appliances)
No Throttling: The IPAM and Remote images do not limit the amount of CPU, Memory, Disk, Network Devices, Queries per Second (qps), or Leases per Second (lps)
No Expiration Date: TCPWave does not force you to repurchase your software appliances after a certain number of years like some other vendors
Install Nearly Everywhere: Install on VMWare, Amazon Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, KVM, or your own appliance using our ISO image
Fully Supported by TCPWave 24x7 "Single Touch" Support
