The use of VitalQIP Appliances listed and described here instead of general purpose servers reduces
the security vulnerabilities through a hardened appliance Red Hat Linux OS. It simplifies software
upgrades and centralizes deployment and monitoring of DNS and DHCP services.
The centralized Appliance Management Software (AMS) maintains and inventory of software packages
and appliances. A Secure token-based appliance authentication process keeps the network secure.
Configuration of services can be done on the AMS GUI before deployment to the remote appliances
running DNS and DHCP services. Appliances can be logically grouped for ease of upgrades and
maintenance. Remote services such as DNS and DHCP can be quickly upgraded to the latest software
version across many appliances. A record of upgrades is maintained in the AMS for each appliance. At
any time, an administrator can roll back to previous version of the service. The monitoring section of
the AMS gives an administrator a centralized view of the health of the entire appliance network on
one GUI view.
