Manage Windows DNS and DHCP Servers with Proteus IPAM

The Solution

Windows network administrators are discovering it is no longer effective to administer DNS and DHCP services separately. By Introducing Proteus IPAM into their Microsoft DNS/DHCP environments, you can realize more reliable service delivery and greater efficiencies in network operations.

The Challenge	How BlueCat Provides the Solution
You have DNS and DHCP servers geographically distributed throughout your enterprise and your current management tools do not provide a centralized solution to manage your servers and networks from a single interface.	Proteus allows you to centrally manage all of your Windows DNS and DHCP servers from a single interface.
Your current DNS and DHCP management tools lack critical enterprise functionality such as global search, workflow, auditing and reporting.	Proteus brings IPAM functionality such as global search, workflow, and audit trail to your DNS and DHCP management tool.
You need a solution that allows you to automatically import DNS records and DHCP lease data from your many DNS and DHCP servers into a single interface.	As DHCP leases and DNS records are added to your Windows servers, the data is immediately sent to your Proteus management system.

Proteus Management Agent for Windows

Proteus can be incorporated into a Microsoft networks with minimal effort. The ‘Proteus Management Agent (PMA) for Windows’ is installed on Windows DNS and DHCP servers. DNS and DHCP data is then imported into the Proteus appliance, which manages the services going forward. The Microsoft Management Console is no longer required for DNS or DHCP administration.

Proteus and the PMA are non-disruptive technologies that integrate seamlessly into existing Windows DNS and DHCP infrastructures. They complement Microsoft DNS and DHCP services by providing a centralized platform for IP address management and DNS/DHCP service administration. Windows administrators benefit from greater visibility to all servers, sophisticated management tools, improved control, and enhanced service continuity. With Proteus IPAM, organizations extend the useful life of their Windows DNS and DHCP servers.
