DDI Solutions for Education

We help educational institutions build a next-generation network infrastructure that is secure, intelligent, and efficient. By aligning network technology with real-world teaching and learning needs, we provide the robust digital backbone required for Smart Education.

Industry Requirements

As digitalization and smart campus initiatives advance, universities and educational institutions increasingly rely on robust network services. Critical activities like online learning, research collaboration, and campus management demand network infrastructure that is highly stable, secure, and intelligent.​ Key challenges facing the sector include:​

  • Low Network Resource Utilization

    With highly concentrated user traffic and predictable peak usage times, traditional DNS and DHCP services lack intelligent management. This often leads to bandwidth congestion and access delays, negatively impacting teaching and research activities.

  • High Complexity in Multi-Campus Management

    Decentralized campus networks struggle with fragmented IP address management and uncoordinated domain services. This lack of unified oversight results in low operational efficiency and poor cross-campus resource coordination.

  • Growing Cybersecurity Threats

    The open nature of campus networks makes DNS a common target for malware and malicious traffic. Conventional security measures are often insufficient against these evolving threats.

  • Lack of Independent, Controllable Technology

    Dependence on foreign or open-source technologies poses security and supply chain risks. There is a growing need for homegrown, secure solutions to ensure long-term operational independence.

Solution Brief

Designed for the education sector, this solution is built on the principles of "Intelligent Awareness, Secure Control, and Efficient Collaboration." It establishes a comprehensive DDI service framework to help educational institutions achieve the following objectives:

  • Unified Network Service Foundation

    Integrates DNS, DHCP, and IPAM into a single platform for centralized resource management and intelligent orchestration across multiple campuses and devices, supporting the development of smart campuses.

  • Enhanced User Experience

    Utilizes intelligent DNS resolution to dynamically optimize network access paths, reducing latency and ensuring smooth performance for online education and collaborative research.

  • Proactive Security Protection

    Incorporates threat intelligence, malicious domain blocking, and DNSSEC validation to build multi-layered security defenses from internal networks to the public internet.

  • XinChuang-Compliant Foundation

    Provides a scalable and secure infrastructure that is compatible with required domestic technologies for the education sector.

Use Cases

  • Scenario 1: Multi-Campus Intelligent Traffic Steering

    Enables precise traffic distribution across different campuses and carrier networks using intelligent DNS resolution. By considering user location and real-time link status, it automatically selects the optimal access path to ensure fast response times for teaching platforms and research systems.​

  • Scenario 2: Unified IP Address Management (IPAM)

    Provides automated IPv4/IPv6 address allocation and conflict detection for distributed campus networks and IoT terminals. DHCP service sharing enables unified address management across campuses, reducing manual effort and improving operational efficiency.

  • Scenario 3:Enhanced Campus Network Security

    Protects high-sensitivity scenarios like research data transfer and online exams with DNS-layer security. Features include real-time malicious domain blocking, DNSSEC validation, and DDoS mitigation to reduce data leakage risks. Integration with threat intelligence effectively blocks unauthorized access, safeguarding the campus network.

  • Scenario 4: Seamless Authentication & Terminal Management

    Supports DHCP fingerprint-based access control to automatically identify and block unauthorized devices. A DHCP Failover mechanism ensures high availability of address assignment, simplifying internet access for students and staff across campus and improving user experience.
