Hostnames known to devices are critical resources. They define the IP network destination for navigation to actual resources. Keep good watch over local hostname registrations of each single device. Maintain and verify established organization network hostnames mitigating the impact of DNS server downtimes. Properly extend your corporate IT services by assigning and registering strong hostnames.
