4 The Internet of Everything Connecting people in more relevant and valuable ways. Delivering the right information to the right person (or machine) at the right time. Leveraging data into more useful information for decision making. Physical devices and objects connected to the Internet and each other for intelligent decision making. People-to-People + People-to-Machine + Machine-to-Machine 4

5 The IP Address Management Challenge The Number of IP Addresses and IP Devices Continues to Increase Dramatically, as does Network Size and Complexity DNS and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Are Mission-Critical in Today s Enterprise Networks. New Technologies Are Being Introduced Into the Network: Voice over IP (VoIP), Video, Cloud Computing, Virtualization, etc. Network Operators Are Under Pressure to Reduce Operating Expenses (OpEx). DNS Attacks Are Creating Significant Risks for IT Systems. BYOD Trend: IT Is Challenged with Network Device Detection and Control. IP Address Management (IPAM) Costs Are Rapidly Accelerating, and Manual Processes and Tools Cannot Scale. 5
