IPAM, DNS and DHCP Virtual Solutions

The Solution

BlueCat’s Proteus IPAM and Adonis DNS/DHCP virtual appliances are based on BlueCat’s award-winning physical appliances. Combining BlueCat’s secure operating system, along with enterprise-level IP address management, DNS, DHCP provides customers with a virtual appliance that can be easily deployed and maintained. Virtualization allows companies to lower operational costs by consolidating services, whether in the datacenter or at the branch office, reducing hardware footprint and lowering energy consumption. Organizations will now be able to rapidly provision DNS and DHCP for capacity handling, as well as relocate services from one server to another for enhanced disaster recovery support – all without having to install any additional physical systems.

IP Address Management (IPAM), DNS and DHCP Virtual Solutions

Organizations are faced with the mounting challenge of how to control their growing IP infrastructure. Lacking the proper tools, administrators continue to rely on spreadsheets and other outdated tools to manually track, allocate and manage IP addresses and networks. Added to this is the need to integrate popular addressing services, such as DNS for naming, and DHCP for address assignment, to provide the ability to track dynamic IP usage across the network.
