  BlueCat Networks – Core Network Services

  Most organisations don’t take notice of their DDI (DNS, DHCP and IP address management) infrastructure until something goes wrong; whilst it is a key component of any network, it normally just works, having been architected over time using Open Source tools and spreadsheets or a home-grown platform.

  Most organisations don’t take notice of their DDI (DNS, DHCP and IP address management) infrastructure until something goes wrong; whilst it is a key component of any network, it normally just works, having been architected over time using Open Source tools and spreadsheets or a home-grown platform. When something does go wrong, it is often down to one person, the original architect or owner of the spreadsheet, to resolve the problem. Commercial DDI solutions could help.
  With Adaptive DNS all of an organisation’s critical DDI infrastructure will be united under one intelligent roof, giving them centralised visibility and control of all of their DNS traffic, round the clock.
  Breaking down DDI into its building blocks…..

  DNS

  With BlueCat, customers can enjoy a responsive, reliable network that enables core services and speeds application performance and availability. BlueCat’s feature-rich DNS solutions can be deployed across on-premise, virtual and cloud environments.

  DHCP

  With BlueCat, customers can boost security and availability, achieve a more scalable architecture, and get dual-stack support across hybrid IT and multi-cloud infrastructures. BlueCat’s DHCP solution also helps an organisation make the most of limited IPv4 space and dual-stacked IPv4 and IPv6 DNS environments.

  IPAM

  BlueCat helps customers to get a single source of truth for relationships between devices, users and IP addresses on the network, using built-in IP modelling tools and network templates to simplify management and unifying an entire IT estate both on-premise and in the cloud.

  Accelerating initiatives, making life easier for DevOps and NetOps and acquiring a single source of truth across the entire hybrid cloud estate, BlueCat is the answer.

  BlueCat makes work seamless for DevOps and NetOps teams with automated discovery, rapid reconciliation and unlimited scalability across the entire hybrid cloud estate.

  Branch offices need fast access to cloud-based applications and data, but as today’s datacentres struggle to deal with ever-increasing network traffic, latency keeps getting in the way. To speed things up, BlueCat has found a way to ensure as much network traffic as possible bypasses the customer’s overworked datacentre, without leaving the security team’s sight.

  With Direct Internet Access (DIA), a customer can intelligently route trusted traffic directly to the internet, making latency a thing of the past.

  BlueCat – Advanced Networking

  Latency is one of the biggest challenges for today’s network teams. It hurts organisations not just from a productivity standpoint, but by lowering customer and staff satisfaction levels and revenue. Poorly optimised routing is one of the leading causes of latency. Traffic gets inadvertently routed to failed servers or lost without notification. Adaptive DNS is […]

  Latency is one of the biggest challenges for today’s network teams. It hurts organisations not just from a productivity standpoint, but by lowering customer and staff satisfaction levels and revenue.
  Poorly optimised routing is one of the leading causes of latency. Traffic gets inadvertently routed to failed servers or lost without notification.

  Adaptive DNS is the answer…

  • Accelerate application response times

  Sitting on the ‘first hop,’ BlueCat starts by routing queries to the first identified namespace. If the answer is not returned, it tries the next, in priority order. This continues until an answer is found.

  • Steer and optimise traffic

  With complete visibility over the network and control of the DNS resolution path, it is possible to steer DNS traffic to optimise network performance — minimising network costs at the same time.

  • Unleash NetOps

  With optimised traffic, intelligent disaster recovery and automated policies to secure the network- and meet compliance standards- the NetOps team will have more time for strategic business operations.

  Eliminating manual tasks and harnessing zero-touch DNS automation to lower network costs, drive rapid innovation, and provide users with a seamless network experience, these are the advantages of provisioning BlueCat in a network.

  Networks are getting bigger and more complex every day, yet 95% of network changes are still performed manually; many Network Managers have their hands on keyboards, performing repetitive, error-prone network configuration and provisioning tasks.

  BlueCat’s Adaptive Plug-Ins and Applications help customers get the most out of their existing infrastructure investments, integrating DDI (DNS, DHCP and IP address management) with applications and services in use every day, while reducing systemic risk.

  By automating everyday network tasks and functions, customers dramatically improve network availability and application performance.

  By transforming mission-critical requirements into customised DDI workflows, plugins and apps, the repetitive, time-consuming work is taken from the IT team’s hands to allow them to get on with their more interesting and useful tasks.

  BlueCat helps to find threats faster and gain full visibility into network traffic with Adaptive DNS security.

  Only a few organisations have the ability to systematically gather and analyse DNS data. With BlueCat, all of this is brought together in one place. This means that it is possible to gain full visibility and control over DNS data (internal and external), strengthening security from the very core to the edge by applying security policies uniformly across the enterprise, without the need for on-device agents.

  Customers can also get the ability to integrate with popular security technologies and SIEMs like Cisco Umbrella and Splunk.

  An organisation’s network and security teams need unprecedented visibility into their network to spot incoming threats. BlueCat’s DNS security sits at the edge of the network – the ‘first hop’ – without the need for an agent. In order to even get close to critical systems, malicious threats have to get through a self-sufficient, highly intelligent barrier first.
  BlueCat’s DNS Security features allow customers to…

  • Spot more threats

  Eliminate DNS as a threat vector by applying policies to DNS traffic, limiting access to sensitive data while locking down critical systems.

  • Identify and respond faster

  Outwit cybercriminals with smart analytics. It is possible to be able to detect DNS tunneling, DNS poisoning, beaconing, and any other evasive techniques, while quickly remediating any breaches.

  • Simplify compliance

  Easily configure, deploy and enforce DNS policies across the network.
