IPv6, Virtualization and Cloud

IPv6 enablement can dramatically improve virtualization and cloud initiatives, which are heavily IP-dependent. BlueCat Networks is working with HP to address the need for IPv6-ready IP Address Management (IPAM) and core network services that are the foundation for virtualization and clouds. IPAM acts as the control point for IPv6 and IPv4 networks, enabling organizations to automate IP address and DNS allocation for workload activation and monitor and reclaim unused IP addresses to support growth in the cloud.

Highlights
  • Automatically activate and deactivate workloads with zero IT intervention
  • Automate DNS and DHCP core services provisioning for virtual servers and clients
  • Dynamically allocate IP space and proactively monitor and reclaim unused IP addresses
  • Accelerate the rollout of virtualization and clouds by eliminating manual spreadsheet lookups and individual DNS/DHCP configuration updates
  • Future-proof your investment with support for IPv6 and secure the cloud with DNSSEC
