Audit Logs are created for logging of addresses usage, administrator additions, deletions and
modification to the infrastructure. Administrators using web interfaces can utilize secure sockets
layer, SSL.
File transfers (pushes) can be configured to provide a level of encryption for the transfer of
information between DNS servers. Access control lists on remote servers can be used to limit the IP
addresses from which the server will accept updates and configuration information. Secure dynamic
DNS updates via GSS-TSIG provide an additional authentication security mechanism for updating DNS
servers.
VitalQIP provides an online backup procedure for securing of the data outside of the VitalQIP system.
Three types of backups exist, one for backing up the master database, one for the VitalQIP database
and one for backing up the transaction log. All backups can be performed to a tape file or a disk file.
5.2
Disaster Recovery
VitalQIP provides many-to-one DHCP server functionality. This means that a single secondary DHCP
server can be the backup for multiple primary DHCP servers located at different sites. The transition
between primary and secondary servers is totally transparent to the clients requesting leases.
Although VitalQIP is not certified on any high availability hardware architecture, deployments of
VitalQIP are running on UNIX high availability platforms that conceivably could be remotely housed
and many cases customers use third party appliances to support this. In the appliance architecture
many-to-one DHCP server functionality is supported as well as DNS failover.

VITALQIP 7.3 NEW FEATURES
6.1.1
New next generation web based GUI:
The new web GUI was designed based on input from the VitalQIP Customer Advisory Board and
VitalQIP customers representing the worldwide customer base. It is modeled after the proven VitalQIP
thick Client which has been a customer favorite for over ten years. The new VitalQIP GUI has a
significantly improved look and feel. Also, it is friendlier, is more intuitive, requires fewer mouse
clicks, and performs faster than the previous GUI.
Multi-level drop-down menus and better use of tabs allow users to quickly access data/operations by
using fewer mouse clicks.
Icons improve clarity and give the GUI a more finished appearance
