ClearSky DDI - Questionnaire

About your environment

A few basics so we can size the right solution.

Roughly how many IP addresses does your organization manage today? Again, your best estimate is fine.

or pick a range

Approximately how many DNS, DHCP, and IPAM servers do you operate? Count each system that runs one of these services. A best guess is fine.

or pick a range

Where do you want ClearSky DDI to run?

On our own infrastructure (on-prem or our cloud) Fully hosted by PCN Not sure yet

Do you have an existing DNS/DHCP/IPAM platform you'd be moving away from?

Yes No, this is a fresh start Not sure

What's prompting you to look at ClearSky now? (optional)

Is there a timeframe you're working toward? (optional)

Deployment shape

Just a few quick ones about how your environment is structured.

Beyond your main production environment, do you need any separate environments set up? For example a test/non-production, disaster recovery, or an isolated/regulated environment.

Production only Non-production / test Disaster recovery Isolated or regulated Not sure

Which systems would you want ClearSky to connect to? Select any that apply.

Identity / single sign-on (e.g. Active Directory, LDAP) Logging or SIEM Monitoring or alerting Something else None yet

Do you manage DNS/DHCP/IPAM across multiple distinct sites or regions that are coordinated separately?

Single site A few sites, loosely coordinated Multiple sites with central coordination Not sure

Running on your own infrastructure

Since ClearSky may run on your hardware, a few questions about that environment.

What kind of infrastructure would ClearSky run on? Select any that apply.

VMware Other hypervisor Bare-metal servers Our own cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) Not sure

Will ClearSky be deployed in more than one physical location or site?

One location 2–3 locations 4+ locations Not sure

Does your network involve any of the following? Select any that apply — and don't worry if you're unsure.

Custom routing or NAT Non-standard firewall rules Zero-trust or strict network segmentation PCI or other regulated security controls None of these Not sure

Would you want us to validate performance capacity and failover/resiliency before go-live? (optional)

Performance / capacity validation Failover & resiliency validation Not sure Neither

Moving from an existing platform

Since you have a platform to move off, a few questions about it.

What are you moving away from? Name the platform(s) — e.g. Infoblox, BlueCat, Microsoft DNS/DHCP, VitalQIP, or homegrown.

Roughly how many of those DNS/DHCP/IPAM systems would be migrated? If you answered question 2, this may be the same number — a best guess is fine.

or pick a range

Besides the DDI platform itself, is there DDI data living in other places we'd need to bring across? Like spreadsheets, a CMDB, or CSV exports.

How would you describe the quality of that data today? (optional)

Clean & well-maintained Mostly good, some gaps Inconsistent or manually maintained Honestly not sure

Do you have any situations where the same DNS/DHCP/IPAM data is maintained in two places that don't always agree? (optional)

No Possibly Yes Not sure

Would you want a period where your old system and ClearSky run side-by-side before fully switching over? (optional)

Yes No Tell me more later

How you'll work with us

Almost done.

Would you want your IT service management system connected directly to ours, so tickets flow automatically between teams? e.g. ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Remedy. Or are you happy using our web portal for tickets?

Connect our ITSM directly Using your web portal is fine Not sure

Which ITSM platform do you use?

What term length are you considering?

1 year 3 years Not sure
