Industry Requirements
As the “Smart Energy” and “Dual-Carbon” strategies advance, energy enterprises—including oil, power, and utilities—are accelerating digital transformation to build intelligent network systems that span the entire value chain from exploration and production to transmission, distribution, and consumption. Key challenges include:
Oilfields, substations, and pipeline facilities are widely distributed. Traditional DNS and IP address management methods lack unified cross-region scheduling, resulting in high latency for inter-site communication and rising operational costs.
As national critical information infrastructure, the energy sector faces sophisticated threats such as DDoS attacks, DNS hijacking, and vulnerabilities in industrial control protocols. Traditional defense mechanisms struggle to mitigate such pervasive security risks.
Massive numbers of smart meters, sensors, and inspection devices are coming online. Fragmented IP address allocation and limited DHCP scalability make it difficult to manage high-concurrency, dynamically changing terminal environments.
Energy networks must ensure 7*24 availability, yet cross–data center traffic scheduling and disaster recovery mechanisms are inefficient—posing business continuity risks during extreme events.
Many core systems still rely on foreign technologies, creating data sovereignty and supply chain security risks. The industry urgently needs self-controllable, localization-compliant solutions that meet national “Xinchuang” requirements.
Solution Brief
Designed around the unique needs of the energy sector, this solution centers on “holistic coordination, resilient security, and intelligent connectivity,” building a comprehensive DDI service system that spans exploration, production, and transmission–distribution scenarios to help energy enterprises achieve the following goals:
By integrating DNS, DHCP, and IPAM, the solution enables unified planning and intelligent scheduling of IP resources across distributed facilities such as oilfields, power grids, and pipelines—enhancing cross-regional collaboration and operational efficiency.
Incorporating threat intelligence integration, DNSSEC validation, and industrial protocol protection, the solution establishes a layered defense framework from core networks to edge endpoints, safeguarding critical energy assets.
Supports large-scale, dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) environments with automated, high-performance IP address allocation and device identification—simplifying onboarding and management of smart meters, sensors, and field inspection devices.
Fully compatible with domestic chips and operating systems, the solution provides distributed multi-site intelligent resolution and sub-second disaster recovery capabilities, ensuring compliance with “Xinchuang” requirements and maintaining uninterrupted business continuity.
Use Cases
In cross-regional oilfield exploration and pipeline transport environments, intelligent DNS resolution dynamically optimizes data transmission paths. Multi–data center traffic scheduling minimizes latency for exploration data transfer while enabling seamless switchover between local and remote disaster recovery sites—ensuring zero production downtime.
For distributed substations and distribution terminals in smart grids, automated IPv6 address allocation and conflict detection ensure network stability. A visualized IPAM platform provides centralized oversight of terminal device resources, improving operational efficiency.
In SCADA and power dispatch systems, the DNS layer blocks malicious domains in real time, encrypts DNS responses (DNSSEC), and cleans abnormal protocol traffic—intercepting 99% of targeted attacks to ensure continuous and secure operation of critical control systems.
For large-scale deployment of smart meters and field inspection devices, DHCP fingerprint-based access control automatically identifies and isolates unauthorized endpoints. High-availability DHCP clusters with policy linkage enhance device onboarding efficiency and support the development of “digital twin” power grids.
Key Benefits
Intelligent DNS resolution and resource scheduling technologies enable real-time transmission of exploration data and precise power load forecasting, accelerating response for mission-critical applications and supporting the implementation of “Smart Oilfields” and “Digital Grids.”
A comprehensive end-to-end protection framework—covering resolution, transmission, and endpoints—mitigates risks from DNS hijacking and industrial protocol attacks, fully aligning with the Regulations on the Security Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure.
A unified management platform delivers one-click cross-regional operation and maintenance, reducing IP conflicts and manual configuration errors while freeing IT resources to focus on energy digital transformation and innovation.
An autonomous, fully controllable architecture supports domestic technology adoption while intelligent power-saving strategies reduce energy consumption, driving the industry toward a greener, low-carbon future.
Active-active data centers with second-level disaster recovery ensure network stability and continuous energy supply even under extreme weather or unexpected incidents—safeguarding the nation’s energy lifeline.
