Key Takeaways
  • Adaptive DNS underpins BlueCat’s strategy for delivering dynamic, open, secure, scalable, and automated network infrastructure.
  • BlueCat focuses on integrations and deployment options that let customers provision and manage DNS resources quickly and reliably across their existing tools.
  • The goal is to enable customers to spin up, scale down, and manage DNS services with flexibility, regardless of the underlying management stack.
  • BlueCat now supports deployment of its DDI management platform on Nutanix AHV hyper-converged infrastructure.
  • This Nutanix AHV integration gives customers an additional option to transition from appliance-based to fully software-based DDI deployments.

Responding to the compounding complexity of today’s networks requires a dynamic, open, secure, scalable, and automated network infrastructure.  Enter Adaptive DNS, the concept underlying BlueCat’s approach to making cloud deployments easier, networks more secure, and day-to-day infrastructure management more efficient.

To enable a more nimble, flexible approach, BlueCat is prioritizing the integrations and deployment options that allow our customers to use DNS resources quickly and reliably.  We want our customers to have the ability to spin up, drawdown, and manage DNS resources quickly and easily, whatever tools they use.

To that end, we’re proud to announce that BlueCat now supports deployments of its DDI management platform on Nutanix AHV.  By integrating with the hyper-converged infrastructure of Nutanix AHV, BlueCat provides yet another option for customers looking to stop counting boxes and move to a fully software-based DDI platform.
