DNS, DHCP, and IP management in one hardened appliance.

IP Fortress is the DDI platform built for providers who need their core network services fast, resilient, and managed without standing up a team to run them. Hardened operating system, integrated security, and a managed services wrapper, all in one box.

What it is

A purpose-built DDI platform for the providers who depend on it.

Most DDI deployments are a stack of separate tools held together by scripts and someone's institutional memory. IP Fortress ships DNS, DHCP, and IP address management together on a hardened appliance, with the configuration, patching, and security work managed by our engineers. The result is the same kind of DDI an ISP runs on, without the headcount it normally takes to keep one running well.

What's inside

Built for the operations that can't go down.

Integrated DDI.

DNS, DHCP, and IPAM together on one appliance. No bolt-ons, no glue scripts, no third-party vendors to deal with.

Hardened operating system.

Built on a CIS benchmarked OS so the attack surface is small from day one. Hardening that holds up under audit.

High availability.

Designed to run as redundant pairs so a single appliance failure doesn't take a community offline.

Lifecycle assurance.

A 7-year hardware lifecycle plan with on-site swap support. You know what the box costs to run for its whole life, not just year one.

Continuous risk reduction.

Vulnerability scans and penetration testing baked into the management contract. Findings get worked, not filed.

Fully managed.

Configuration, backups, and support all sit with us. Our engineers run the appliance day to day, so you get dependable DDI without adding another system for your team to keep up.

Who it's for

Operators who need the core network to behave.

ISPs and regional telecoms.

Providers carrying community traffic. The reason IP Fortress exists in the first place, and the environment its design is grounded in.

Healthcare and finance.

Networks where a DNS outage is a billable event. Hardening, redundancy, and lifecycle predictability matter more than feature counts.

Critical infrastructure.

Utilities, water authorities, and municipalities running operational networks where uptime is the job.
