Managing Windows DNS and DHCP

Executive Summary

In today’s Microsoft-based network environments, the demands placed on DNS and DHCP services have increased substantially from only a few years ago. As dynamic networks continue to grow, administrators are discovering that it is no longer effective to administer DNS and DHCP services separately. More reliable service delivery and greater efficiencies in network operations can be realized by introducing an IP Address Management (IPAM) solution to manage Microsoft DNS and DHCP environments.

Proteus, BlueCat Networks’ industry-leading IPAM solution, can be easily incorporated into Microsoft networks through the Proteus Management Agent for Windows (PMA). Installed on existing Windows DHCP and authoritative DNS servers, the PMA leverages customers’ existing investments and commitments in Windows technology by providing a centralized platform for DNS/DHCP administration and IP Address Management.

Proteus IPAM complements Microsoft DNS and DHCP services by introducing greater visibility, sophisticated management tools, enhanced service continuity and improved control all in one integrated solution.
