Proteus™ Cloud Services

Managed DNS You Can Rely On

Today, internet uptime is a matter of being in business or not. All businesses rely on DNS Domain Name Services) for internet uptime. No DNS means no network and therefore, no business. Such business continuity can be expensive to build and if not properly implemented can often lead to downtime with a single point of DNS failure or DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. A DNS failure would cause your website to disappear, halt all sales transactions, and stop all external email communications. Most enterprises do not have the expertise and the capital to invest in a reliable and secure public facing DNS.

IPAM Goes Virtual™

No IP. No Network. No Business. Virtual IPAM

An increasing number of organizations are turning to virtualization to reduce costs, accelerate software deployment and simplify management. Virtualization allows companies to lower operational costs by consolidating services, whether in the datacenter or at the branch office, by reducing hardware footprint and lowering energy consumption.

BlueCat's IPAM Receives Reviewers Choice Award

BlueCat's Proteus 5000 Keeps IP Addresses In Order

For most network administrators, keeping track of IP addresses can be a real headache. It is daunting to find out the static addresses used by devices such as servers and printers, determine which IP ranges are covered by different Domain Name System (DNS) servers, and take an inventory of which address ranges are being leased by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) devices. Add things such as wireless devices, in addition to the security concerns raised by DHCP, and you can have a real bear on your hands.

Proteus Enterprise IPAM Platform™ Family

Spreadsheets Have Failed You

As networks have grown, so has the complexity of managing IP infrastructure. There has been an explosion in the number of IP networks and connected devices, and networks that may have had a few hundred IP addresses a decade ago, can now run into the thousands, as more and more devices (VoIP phones, RFID devices, PDAs, etc.) connect to the network. Spreadsheets don’t cut it.

Proteus Enterprise IPAM Platform™ Appliance

Reduce Costs, Save Money

BlueCat’s appliances provide a dedicated platform for mission-critical IP Address Management. As part of the appliance delivery, BlueCat maintains the operating system and applications, removing the need for administrators to install, update and patch individual components. BlueCat provides regular updates to customers, who now only need to track and install update information from one vendor. Organizations benefit from the cost savings associated with the reduction in administrative time and effort now required to maintain IPAM infrastructure.

Proteus Management Agent for Windows®

Control Windows® DNS/DHCP Servers with Proteus

BlueCat Networks’ elegant integration solution leverages existing customer investments in Windows® technology to provide a centralized management platform for IP addresses and DNS/DHCP services. The Proteus management layer provides visibility to any number of servers from a single, centralized view, delivering enterprise-class audit, tagging and delegated access control to Windows DNS/DHCP servers in support of highly available networks.

IPv6 Ready When You Are

The Right Tools for IPv6

Proteus is able to model IPv6 and IPv4 address spaces with the same tools, in the same interface. This eases the training impact for IPv6 dual-stacking and transition. Proteus’ IPAM-integrated approach to DNS through the Proteus multi-core system links DNS changes into all of the parts of IP management functionality affected by them in the system. Not only does a DNS change through DHCP get reflected in the DNS system, changes to static DNS records will be reflected in their links to other multi-core objects within the Proteus IPAM system.

DNSSEC - Secure DNS for Government

DNS resolution assumes that information received from remote DNS servers is always valid. As a result of the Kaminsky exploit from mid-2008, organizations are now realizing that this is not always true. DNS is susceptible to cache poisoning attacks that can be used to misdirect users to malicious sites. To help provide added security, the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) were created to provide a method for validating DNS information. Organizations need to begin implementing DNSSEC to safeguard against DNS threats.

Corporate Overview

No IP, No Network, No Business

DNS or DHCP failure will bring your network to a halt. IP addresses are critical to your network by virtue of the fact that they are used to connect vital network resources such as workstations, servers, VoIP phones, and critical business applications. If these resources are unavailable, you could be out of business. BlueCat’s end-to-end IPAM platform provides reliable, redundant IPAM, DNS and DHCP so that core network services are always available. With Proteus, you have a proven IPAM solution to assure your organization’s web sites, email, phone systems and IP devices are always up and running.

Introducing IPAM Intelligence

Defining IPAM Intelligence™

From the viewpoint of those responsible for controlling and updating IP networks, an intelligent, offer organizations fi ve key capabilities: integration, management, control, visibility and continuity of core network services in a utility-grade, centralized platform.

Integration, in this case, refers to the enterprise’s ability to leverage current network investments and seamlessly integrate the IPAM solution into their existing infrastructure. To begin, migration tools that allow administrators to easily import data from other systems should be built in to your IPAM solution to reduce the time and complexity of getting it up and running.

Great People Make Great Companies

EMC­ Corporation Web Services

“I want to thank you for your tireless effort in this matter. One positive note is that I know now that support within your organization is responsive. The migration over to your DNS appliances would not have gone as smoothily as it did if it hadn’t been for [the customer support team]’s patience and knowledge…I would like to comment everyone at BlueCat for all the support that has been provided during this transition…”
