I recently joined the awesome Tech Field Day crew for #TFD27 taking part in a not so sunny silicon valley. Unfortunately for me this time I joined remotely but that didn’t stop the content being as awesome as ever!
First up at #TFD27 was Men&Mice presented micetro a management and orchestration solution for DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI).
There were two specific elements I really liked about micetro. The first is the fact it is an overlay tool, not aiming to replace your existing tools but abstract the management from them whilst improving workflow and orchestration. The second stand-out point for me was the comprehensive list of supported solutions that they were able to manage.
During the demonstration, they were able to show unified management of DDI across Linux, and Windows as well as cloud-based solutions in Azure, AWS and beyond.
DDI is such a critical element for organisations, and with the introduction of cloud and multi-cloud requirements, the complexity of managing it is only growing. micetro allows administrators to have a single point of truth across multiple solutions allowing corporate standards to be set, maintained and monitored across the multitude of implementation points. Many organisations today rely on an Excel spreadsheet to try and manage DDI, so a solution like micetro can infinitely improve this experience, savings time, improving security and offering enhanced functionality.
