Appliance Based Solutions

BlueCat’s award-winning Adonis and Proteus appliances form the basis for BlueCat’s DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management (IPAM) platform. Combining purpose-built hardware and BlueCat’s secure operating system, along with enterprise-level DNS, DHCP and IPAM, Adonis and Proteus provide customers with an appliance solution that can be easily configured, deployed and maintained to provide critical network services across the organization.

Reduce Costs, Save Money

BlueCat’s appliances provide a dedicated platform for mission-critical DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management. As part of the appliance delivery, BlueCat maintains the operating system and applications, removing the need for administrators to install, update and patch individual components. BlueCat provides regular updates to customers, who now only need to track and install update information from one vendor. Organizations benefit from the cost savings associated with the reduction in administrative time and effort now required to maintain the DNS, DHCP and IPAM infrastructure.

Security is Key!

Organizations benefit from BlueCat’s enhanced appliance security. BlueCat’s appliances are based on a hardened operating system with a built-in firewall to protect against exploits. In addition to this, BlueCat has made further efforts to secure the DNS, DHCP and IPAM applications. DNS runs in a jailed environment to limit exposure, and all services are pre-configured with strong defaults for added security. BlueCat also includes full DNSSEC support, including NSEC3, to both host and validate DNSSEC-enabled data. As part of BlueCat’s software update program, organizations are kept up-to-date and current with the latest updates and security patches to ensure the most secure operating environment.

High Availability and Failover Ensure Uptime!

Given the critical nature of network services, such as DNS, DHCP and IPAM, organizations cannot tolerate a system outage. In order to safeguard against potential service outages, BlueCat’s appliances provide extensive failover, high availability and disaster recovery features. BlueCat’s high availability allows organizations to cluster multiple units together to protect against a single system failure. With BlueCat’s built-in high availability, organizations are provided with a robust solution that shields against costly network down time or service disruption.
