BlueCat Networks Opens Asia Pacific Office in Response to Rapidly-Increasing Demand for its IPAM, DNS & DHCP solutions worldwide

Singapore office provides local pre-sales and post-sales support for channel partners in Asia Pacific and the Middle East

Singapore, Dubai and Toronto – March 31, 2010 – BlueCat Networks, the IPAM Intelligence Company^™, announces that in response to rapidly-increasing demand for its market-leading IPAM, DNS and DHCP solutions in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East, it has opened a new regional headquarters in Singapore. BlueCat Networks’ physical and virtual appliances are trusted by the government, military, financial services, retail, enterprise and manufacturing sectors worldwide to fully integrate IP inventory tracking and allocation along with DNS and DHCP management – making it simple to manage increasingly-complex IP networks from a centralized and secure Web-based interface.

Located at One Fullerton Road #02-01, Singapore 049213, BlueCat Networks’ new office will serve as the ‘tech hub’ for pre-sales and post-sales technical support for the company’s distributors, resellers and customers in the Middle East and Asia Pacific – liaising with channel partners to develop business opportunities and providing the localized sales and marketing support necessary to capitalize on customer demand. The office can be contacted directly at +65 6832 5124.

The Singapore office will be staffed by specialized IT sales experts with excellent local market knowledge and headed by Dean Bell, Vice President, Middle East & Asia Pacific. Bell has over 15 years of business development management and sales and marketing management experience working in the IT sector across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Bell joined BlueCat Networks from BorderWare technologies, where he was responsible for providing sales leadership to emerging markets in the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions.

“Worldwide demand for BlueCat Networks’ IPAM, DNS and DHCP solutions has been increasing rapidly over that last year, despite the global recession, and that is certainly the case in the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions,” said Bell. “One of several new BlueCat Networks offices opening worldwide in 2010, the Singapore office will act as the HQ for the MEA and APAC regions, and will be tasked with leading BlueCat Networks’ aggressive marketing activities by providing the local support and knowledge necessary to ensure all partners in the region can easily access the resources and training required to grow the customer base and maximize sales in this huge addressable market,” Bell continued. “As we move forward and grow the business, plans are already afoot for the launch of a dedicated Middle East office to further demonstrate commitment to that market and provide a support base in the region.”

This latest expansion further underscores BlueCat Networks’ rapid growth over the last few years, which actually accelerated throughout 2009 despite the global recession. BlueCat Networks’ innovative new products and aggressive business model has resulted in two successive record sales quarters and a AED40 million (US$11 million) minority investment from California-based investment firm, Bridgescale Partners. As well as opening new offices, BlueCat Networks is investing its new revenues on research and development, strategic hires and the continued growth of its global channel program to further drive its expansion worldwide.

BlueCat Networks’ rapid growth in 2009 resulted in it being ranked in both the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and Deloitte Fast 500 as one of North America’s fastest growing companies. BlueCat Networks also received a ‘positive’ rating from Gartner in its 2009 MarketScope for DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management (DDI) products as well as the ‘Reviewer’s Choice’ designation from GCN (Government Computer News).

BlueCat Networks’ unified approach, which enables management of all network services, including DNS and DHCP, from a single Proteus IPAM interface, has been embraced by such prestigious organizations as Georgia Tech, AirTran and Boise State University.
