DDI for Education: Manage Large Distributed Networks

Centralized, Vendor-agnostic Automation, Control, & Security

University and college campuses present unique DDI challenges, from managing high-density BYOD environments to providing services across a distributed network with diverse user groups. ProVision provides a user-friendly, centralized, and vendor-agnostic platform to bring automation, control, and security to your campus infrastructure, helping you to manage complexity while working with your existing systems and budget.

What is DDI in Education?

In an educational setting, DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IPAM) is the critical infrastructure layer that keeps university and college campuses connected. It ensures that tens of thousands of student, faculty, and guest devices (BYOD) can securely and reliably access the network without IP conflicts or DNS outages.

Global Search

Features global search functionality for quick retrieval of IP allocations and assets across the entire campus.

Customizable Views

The Resource Manager allows you to build customizable views of any resource, tied to your provisioning data and any other stored metadata.

Scalable DHCP for a BYOD Environment

Handle the high volume and constant churn of student, faculty, and guest

devices connecting to your network.

Easy Scope Management

Add, edit, and monitor DHCP scopes without relying on error-prone spreadsheets to keep up with device demand.

Real-Time Monitoring

Quickly visualize lease activity and see scope health to proactively manage your DHCP infrastructure.

Microsoft DHCP Support

The DHCP Module works across vendor lines, including support for Microsoft DHCP servers in hybrid environments.

Granular Control for Diverse User Groups

Create and manage distinct network segments for students, faculty,

staff, guests, and administrative departments with robust access

controls.

Native Multi-Tenancy
