5 reasons you need to invest in DDI

Below we discuss five reasons why you need to invest in DDI for your business.

Jan 3rd, 2023

DDI solutions help enterprises manage their core network services. In today’s hyper-connected and increasingly integrated world, businesses that prioritize this practice and capitalize on the overall value of a holistic solution like a unified DDI software can gain a competitive advantage.

Below we discuss five reasons why you need to invest in DDI for your business, but have in mind that these are just few of the important reasons why DDI is vital for businesses today.

1) Less network downtime and fewer network outages

Network outage can seriously impact the business with the risk of lost revenue, reduced productivity and affect the customers. In a 2021 survey from Information Technology Intelligence Consulting, 91% of respondents estimate that one hour of downtime costs their firm $301,000 or more. 44% of those polled indicated that one hour of downtime exceed $1 million.

2) Increased network visibility

Often, the more complex the network, the less network visibility you have, leading to blindspots and a compounding risk factors that can ripple into expensive outages. By using network monitoring tools and analysing how data is aggregated and distributed between these components, network administrators can gain better insight into network operations and possible security threats.

3) Increased network security

Network security helps to protect your network infrastructure and could save you time and money. It also ensures that shared data is kept secure. Network security provides several levels of protection to your infrastructure to prevent MITM (man in the middle) and other attacks. Micetro's xDNS redundancy reduces the risk of exposure due to single points of DNS failure, and enhances the successful mitigation of DDoS and other harmful DNS attacks.

4) Increased network resilience

Network resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficult situations. This cannot be achieved without a good DDI management solution. This helps network managers to set the proper precautions and proactive alerts allowing a quick bounce back from unexpected outages, network failures or attacks.

5) Network automation

Miscommunication in a networking environment can lead to misconfiguration and debilitating downtime. We are all human, but human error can cause serious issues in the network infrastructure, and the more complex the environment, the problems can be hard to spot. Network automation, through APIs, help eliminate human error and create extremely useful applications that would’ve been virtually impossible to do otherwise.
