DNSSEC Key Generation Meets IPAM: New Nixu NameSurfer Suite 6.5 Series

Nixu Software has today launched version 6.5 of its flagship IP Address Management (IPAM) solution, Nixu NameSurfer® Suite. The new version provides a powerful single point of management for organizations' all IPAM needs, including native DNSSEC Key Generation tool that simplifies the DNSSEC signing of master zone files managed inside Nixu NameSurfer Suite.

Nixu NameSurfer Suite 6.5 Series also introduces a number of other exciting features such as full audit trail for IPAM module, tree-based view for browsing subnets and hosts, and support for Secure64 DNS Signer, the fully automated high-end DNSSEC solution designed to meet the highest security and performance requirements.

"Since releasing the first Nixu NameSurfer version supporting DNSSEC already in August 2007, we have been keeping a close eye on DNSSEC development" said Juha Holkkola, Managing Director of Nixu Software. "After the Kaminsky Vulnerability was made public last summer, we have seen an increasing level of interest in DNSSEC. While the first wave of DNSSEC deployments is likely to benefit from high-end solutions such as Secure64 DNS Signer now supported by Nixu NameSurfer Suite, we are also beginning to see an increasing number of enterprises and governmental organizations interested in signing their own zones and domains. For entities looking to deploy DNSSEC using Linux-level security standards, local zone signing with Nixu IPAM provides an ideal, cost-efficient choice."

With Citrix® Ready and VMware® Ready certifications and support for emerging network standards such as IPv6, DNSSEC and ENUM, Nixu NameSurfer Suite 6.5 Series is the ideal IPAM solution for organizations looking to ensure business continuity and to show return on their virtualization investment.

Nixu NameSurfer Suite 6.5.1 is immediately available for download as a Linux-based software appliance, and as traditional Linux and SPARC/Solaris binaries.
