Replace Legacy IPAM Solutions

BlueCat Networks IPAM, DNS and DHCP solutions make network management easier and more a ordable. Our solutions Increase operational e ciency and reduce IT costs by providing centralized management, e cient workow delegation and scalability to support future growth and new requirements such as IPv6. Automated IPAM, DNS and DHCP frees up time and resources to focus on strategic IT initiatives.

New services like VoIP, Wi-Fi access and the integration of smart phones and tablets can double or triple the number of IP addresses and networks you need to manage. BlueCat Networks solutions accelerate the rollout of new services by simplifying and standardizing the way networks, IP addresses, DNS domains and DHCP core services are provisioned, tracked and audited.

With the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, organizations need smart solutions to help them plan, implement and manage IPv6. BlueCat Networks IPv6-ready solutions provide an essential technology for transitioning to IPv6. Our solutions allow you to discover, manage and track IPv4 and IPv6 network assets, plan and to model your IPv6 addressing scheme and map your IPv6 network onto existing IPv4 resources.

In todays IP-dependent world, when DNS and DHCP core services fail, business stops. BlueCat Networks IPAM, DNS and DHCP solutions provide the network visibility, control and resiliency you need to keep your business-critical core services running 24/7. With multiple levels of resiliency, global visibility and built-in error checking, our solutions are purpose-built to provide core services reliability and scalability.

Virtualization and cloud computing can deliver greater agility and exibility but only if ine ective automation and manual spreadsheet lookups for IP addresses dont get in the way. BlueCat Networks solutions automate network provisioning and workload activation for virtual environments and clouds, allowing you to leverage available IP space for on demand scalability.

Every time a new branch or remote location opens, network management gets more complicated and costly. BlueCat Networks solutions optimize core network services at the edge by combining e cient centralized management with resilient local delivery of DNS and DHCP core services. The result is an optimal network infrastructure that is scalable and can provide reliable local services and more e cient use of IT resources.

Spreadsheets and manual processes cant keep pace with the explosive growth of networks, mobile devices and IP usage. BlueCat Networks replaces ine cient legacy IPAM solutions with a smart, simple, scalable solution for managing IP addresses and IP core services. With integrated DNS and DHCP, BlueCat Networks IPAM solution gives you the power to centrally manage everything IP in your network from a single pane of glass.
