APIs Integral to a Successful DDI Strategy

Network engineering teams should pay close attention to vendor APIs when they evaluate tools for DNS, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and IP address management. These three components combine into a network management platform known as DDI.

DDI technology provides a suite of essential core network services that enable
connectivity. DNS provides a directory that maps domain names to IP addresses. Without these services, networks simply can’t function. A recent report from Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) found that API quality can determine whether a network team is successful with DDI technology.

The study surveyed 333 enterprise DDI managers and found that only 44% of
organizations are fully satisfied with the APIs offered by their DDI vendors.
The report also revealed that satisfaction with API quality correlates with overall
success with DDI technology. For example, 70% of successful DDI teams were fully satisfied with API quality, but only 17% of unsuccessful DDI teams felt that way.
