Exciting product update: Introducing BlueCat Integrity X
Introducing BlueCat Integrity X, a single platform for complete visibility and control over critical network services.
BlueCat Integrity X 25.1 is a unified DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) platform release designed to give IT teams complete visibility and control over mission-critical network services, addressing real-world DDI complexity and operational inefficiency. The release focuses on a single intuitive UI/UX backed by a fully RESTful, OpenAPI-compliant API so every UI action is automatable, and includes architectural, telemetry, security, cloud, localization, and accessibility enhancements that improve monitoring, resilience, and scale. Key outcomes include faster workflows with fewer clicks, built-in observability and support tooling, stronger security options (DNSSEC with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM support), and expanded cloud and usability capabilities that reduce investigation time and operational overhead.
What automation capabilities does Integrity X 25.1 provide and how do they benefit operational workflows?
Integrity X 25.1 is built on a fully RESTful API that is OpenAPI compliant, meaning every action in the UI is executed as a real API call. This eliminates hidden internals or second-class APIs, so what operators see in the interface is exactly what automation engineers can control. The consistent API-first design enables seamless integration, rapid feature delivery, and long-term extensibility for automation-driven organizations, reducing manual effort, supporting programmatic workflows, and ensuring reliable, repeatable operations across DNS, DHCP, and IPAM tasks.
What observability and monitoring improvements are included in the 25.1 release?
Integrity X 25.1 introduces integrated service health and metrics with real-time insights exposed through Prometheus, along with built-in telemetry and visualization dashboards for enhanced monitoring. These features provide centralized visibility into DNS, DHCP, and system health metrics directly within the platform, helping teams correlate events and investigate issues faster without jumping between disparate tools. The added observability reduces mean time to resolution and supports proactive management of mission-critical DDI services.
How does Integrity X 25.1 enhance security and cloud deployment options?
The 25.1 release expands security and cloud deployment capabilities by adding DNSSEC with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 support via Hardware Security Modules (HSM), ensuring stronger cryptographic protections for DNS signing. On the cloud and deployment side, Integrity X offers OCI virtual appliances in the Marketplace and full validation for unicast DHCP deployments on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enabling organizations to deploy validated DDI services in these cloud environments. Together, these enhancements improve security posture and provide flexible, cloud-ready deployment choices.
We are thrilled to unveil the latest updates in our product lineup: BlueCat Integrity X, 25.1. This release represents a transformative step forward in our DNS, DHCP, and IP address management solutions. It empowers IT teams seeking a single platform for complete visibility and control over critical network services.

We’ve made achieving more easier than ever. With streamlined processes, you can significantly reduce the learning curve, allowing for quicker adoption and implementation.
Robust automation possibilities
Integrity X is built on a fully RESTful API that is OpenAPI compliant. It enables rapid feature delivery, seamless integration, and long-term extensibility for automation-driven organizations. Every action in the UI is a real API call, making it consistent, automatable, and reliable.
That means Integrity X uses the same RESTful APIs that you use for automation. What you see in the interface is precisely what your automation engineers can control—no hidden internals, no second-class APIs. Not every DDI management tool is built the same way. With Integrity X, there are no black boxes and no compromises.
