Think of your IT infrastructure like a well-oiled machine — every gear and spring needs to work precisely to keep the whole system running smoothly. With UCS, you can manage IP addresses, networks, software applications, domains, and devices effortlessly. Our monitoring solutions keep you informed and in control at all times. Our tools ensure your IT systems are efficient and secure, keeping everything running like clockwork.
Strong IT Infrastructure, Strong Organization
DNS & DHCP
Managing Networks
Easily manage your DNS data with our built-in DNS server, BIND. It translates the internal IP addresses of servers and network components into easy-to-read names, making your network administration simpler.
Use DHCP for small and large networks. New devices automatically get an IP address and a hostname, with options for dynamic or static allocation. By assigning fixed IP addresses based on the MAC address, you can prevent unauthorized devices from accessing your network.
Device Access Management
Domain Management
With UCS, you can bridge the gap between Linux and Windows systems and manage cross-platform domains and IT infrastructures. Manage users, groups, servers, desktop systems, networks, mail accounts, and more through the Univention Management Console (UMC) web interface or the command line.
Automate tasks with scripts and APIs. The LDAP directory service provides a stable foundation, containing all domain-wide relevant data. Connect Windows-based clients using UCS’s Active Directory-compatible services or integrate existing AD domains.
RADIUS for Network Security
Bring Your Own Device
Many organizations and educational institutions allow users to bring their own devices. But before external devices connect to the school or corporate Wi-Fi, administrators need to ensure these devices don’t become entry points for malware.
RADIUS takes care of authentication, authorization, and accounting, verifying usernames and passwords, and granting access to data or services upon successful login. Additionally, RADIUS logs data transmission volumes and access frequencies, ensuring secure network management.
Dashboard for UCS Domain and Server
Smart Monitoring
Our dashboard offers different views and an alert function for a quick overview of the status of your UCS domain and its servers. Access different dashboards right from your web browser, and stay updated with continuous reports on your domain and devices. You’ll see at a glance which servers need updates and what important changes have been made.
Spot potential issues early, analyze your IT environment, and optimize your administrative tasks with Univention’s comprehensive IT infrastructure management.

Frequently Asked Questions About IT Infrastructure Management
What is The Main Objective of IT Infrastructure Management?
The overarching goal for IT infrastructure management is to ensure the efficiency, security and availability of a company or organization’s entire IT architecture. An efficiently managed infrastructure framework optimizes the flow of data and information, which in turn stabilizes critical business processes. At the same time, it is crucial to ensure the scalability of IT components in order to be able to react flexibly to changing requirements.
Security is particularly important, as proactive protection against cyber threats is essential in order to protect sensitive information and not jeopardize ongoing operations. Effective management of the IT infrastructure also ensures the continuous availability of systems and applications. This minimizes downtime and potential losses.
The use of proven technologies and best practices helps to control costs and maximize profitability. In this way, IT infrastructure management not only enables immediate stability, but also lays the foundation for future technological developments and innovations. With Univention Corporate Server and numerous integrated functions, you are well and securely positioned for this.
What is All Part of an IT Infrastructure?
A comprehensive IT infrastructure comprises a large number of components that work together to ensure the overall IT performance of a company. But what is all part of the IT infrastructure? The basic components are hardware, such as servers, computers and network devices, which are essential for storing and processing data.
Equally crucial is the software, including operating systems and applications that enable the IT environment to function smoothly. Network technologies such as routers, switches and firewalls ensure connectivity and security. Databases and storage solutions, such as cloud services, are crucial for efficient management and access to information.
In addition, aspects such as IT security and support play a key role in infrastructure management. Through effective IT infrastructure management, a company can ensure that all components are optimally coordinated and meet specific business requirements. This also includes BYOD options.
This holistic approach enables not only the optimization of operational efficiency, but also adaptability to constantly changing technical and business conditions.
What Role Does IT Infrastructure Management Play in Companies and Organizations?
In the digital age, IT infrastructure management is the foundation for success and security. Effective IT infrastructure management guarantees smooth processes by ensuring that networks, servers and storage solutions function optimally. Technologies and systems are constantly changing, which is why the management of IT systems requires flexibility and adaptability from companies. This includes monitoring system performance, proactively identifying potential problems and implementing security measures to protect sensitive data.
Well-organized IT infrastructure management helps to minimize downtime and increase the efficiency of all processes. For companies, this means that they can concentrate on their core competencies while the IT infrastructure works reliably in the background. The integration of new technologies, such as cloud services and virtualization, further optimizes the infrastructure so that companies are also prepared for future challenges. Minimize costs and risks with a well-sorted IT infrastructure!
