Introduction

The VendorN Ltd OneDDI product (OneDDI) is a centralised software application which hosts several modules.

The Vision module provides origanizations an intuitive user interface giving insight into how they use DNS records, how they can change over time, their relationships with each other and the devices using them and the DNS servers involved.

The ReDNS module allows an organization to pre-define all DNS records for critical services. Service owners can be permitted to control service DNS records and perform on-demand extensive health-checks to identify configuration issues.

The IPMeye module provides centralised remote power management and console access using the IPMI protocol. It enforces access control and audits all user actions.

The SerialEyes module provides centralised remote physical serial port access via non-dedicated hardware. A SerialEyes bootable USB drive transforms a laptop into an on-demand secure physical serial port gateway using existing addressing and connectivity.
