Business Data Sheet 

Cisco Prime IP Express 

Deliver reliable, automated, core enabling IP services 

Demands on today’s business networks are extensive - from the increasing number of connected users and 

devices, requirements for anytime, anywhere network access, and ongoing security concerns, to transitions to 

virtualized environments and IPv6. And these demands are placing stress on two core enabling IP services, 

Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). 

Without a fast, reliable, and secure DNS service, broadband Internet access will be compromised. If DNS fails, the 

Internet will fail. High-performing, reliable, scalable, and secure DNS is mission-

critical in today’s networks. 

DHCP is a core network access technology - every device must be assigned a unique address when connected to 

the network, a virtually impossible task to undertake manually. Automating the tracking and controlling of users and 

devices with a high capacity, reliable DHCP server is imperative. 

Compounding these demands is the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement - users expect to be able to bring 

their personal mobile devices to work. Self-provisioning these devices securely and cost effectively requires a 

BYOD interface that integrates with a secure external authentication service like Microsoft Active Directory (AD). 

Today's complex networks also require a full-featured, automated IP Address Management (IPAM) solution. 

Enterprises face huge challenges with IP address management given the continual deployment of new IP services 

and technologies and the explosive growth in connected devices. Current operational processes, largely manual, 

simply do not scale. Enterprises require integrated, standards-compliant, and comprehensive solutions to simplify 

management of IP addresses and prepare their networks for the new demands being placed upon them.
