Overview
The Diamond IP Sapphire v10 appliance from BT provides modest performance with superior reliability and security with the convenience of pre-packaged DHCP/DNS/IPAM (DDI) appliances. The Sapphire v10 can be configured and managed using your BT IPControl implementation to extend your DNS/IPAM capabilities to AWS. Sapphire appliances are built from the ground up for security and robustness. Our appliances offer numerous security features including a hardened operating system (OS), network interface access control lists (ACLs), minimal open ports, uninterruptible boot process, jailed file system, and rate limiting to mitigate denial of service (DOS) attacks, DNSSEC validation, DNS firewall, and DNS response rate limiting, to name a few.
Highlights
- Elastically extend DNS and IPAM capacity to AWS to provide or supplement your organization's DNS and IPAM requirements.
- Seamlessly configure and manage using your BT IPControl software or appliance implementation.
- Rapidly and simply expand and contract DNS/IPAM capacity and performance.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
