New option for managing IP addresses

There are many products on the market to help enterprise IT pros manage IP addresses. Some options are costly and many vary in their ability to efficiently track core network services. Companies, including Alcatel-Lucent, BT Diamond IP, BlueCat Networks and Infoblox, all have IP address management products. There are also open source products such as IPplan.

This week, Solar Winds, launched a new add-on to its Orion management suite that it says will give companies stronger capabilities to track and manage IP addresses to the application's web console. NetworkWorld.com reports that the software "helps IT consolidate IP addresses into a single repository, keep better records by performing periodic scans for changes, and create and share reports on IP address space percent utilization."  The company is offering pricing that may be attractive to the IT community.
