BlueCat Networks’ worldwide award winning solution, Proteus, is driving the acceptance of IPAM by lowering the Total Cost of Ownership and enhancing the end-user experience. The demand for a sophisticated IPAM solution brings new management requirements, which Proteus delivers. These include:

§ Workflow management

§ Quick navigation functionality to view entire networks

§ Network event notification

§ Enforcement of corporate naming policies

§ Accurate modeling of IP networks for the purpose of anticipating requirements for IP addresses

“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services,” says Rake Narang, editor-and-chief, Network Products Guide. “BlueCat Networks’ enterprise-class Proteus IPAM solution represents a significant advance in secure, reliable and scalable network appliances by making it simple for administrators to integrate IP inventory tracking and allocation with DNS and DHCP management,” Narang continued. “Utilizing BlueCat Networks’ IPAM solution administrators can design networks with a simple conceptual view, then deploy and manage them across the organization, and when managing DNS and DHCP, Proteus acts as “mission control”, offering simplified Microsoft Active Directory® integration and full command, control and customization of configurations from a centralized and secure Web-based interface.”

“As these awards go to the best technology products every year, BlueCat Networks is honored that Proteus has won the Network Products Guide Reader Trust Award,” commented Michael Hyatt, co-founder & CEO, BlueCat Networks. “BlueCat Networks’ customers recognize that the uptime of a network is critical to business, and this award from the knowledgeable readership reaffirms that BlueCat Networks is meeting this need by providing the best products and services available,” Hyatt continued. “After all, if devices cannot obtain a valid IP address and if networks are not readily accessible it will not only result in poor network performance and productivity, but also, more significantly, with a negative impact on profitability and customer relationships - no IP means no network, which means no business.”
