NS1 Software-Defined DDI Solution Now Available on Cisco GPL

Application networking solutions provider, NS1, has joined the Cisco DevNet SolutionsPlus program, resulting in its enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) solution now being available on Cisco’s Global Price List. Inclusion in Cisco’s DevNet SolutionsPlus program enables Cisco field teams and channel partners to incorporate NS1’s software-defined DDI and external DNS solutions into their portfolio while providing customers with enhanced network visibility and control.

As enterprise architectures evolve to support modern and distributed businesses, infrastructures would become more complex and reveal areas of increased risk and vulnerability. NS1’s integration with Cisco Umbrella would solve these challenges by providing enhanced network visibility and control, comprehensive traffic management capabilities, and instant threat remediation across DNS networks.

NS1 solutions are cloud-native and purpose-built on API-first architecture. NS1 + Cisco empowers NetOps, DevOps, and SecOps teams to “more efficiently, securely, and reliably” deliver and scale application and network services that enable business.

NS1’s comprehensive traffic management solutions can also be deployed with Cisco AnyConnect to provide “vast improvements in reliability and performance” for virtual private networks (VPN). With NS1’s Filter Chain, network teams can shape VPN traffic based on a variety of factors, such as location, resource availability, number of existing sessions, and a dozen other variables. This would ensure that remote workers can “reliably and securely” connect and stay connected.

“NS1’s acceptance into Cisco’s DevNet SolutionsPlus program further validates the value our superior network automation and traffic steering capabilities provide to joint customers,” said Warren Mead, vice president of Business Development and Channels, NS1. “As we become more tightly integrated within the Cisco ecosystem, we expand opportunities for organizations to leverage our unified solutions to make their entire application stacks smarter, more secure, and more efficient to manage.”
