Unified DDI for government and education
Modernize your complex network and ensure always-on operations with centralized, automated, and secure DNS, DHCP, and IP address management
Trusted by industry leaders
State and local governments and educational institutions require robust, secure, and resilient network infrastructure. Remote learning, which requires reliable and accessible platforms, as well as digital transformation projects of all sorts, have also fueled the demand for cloud computing. Meanwhile, if the network goes down, it can bring critical and emergency operations to a grinding halt.
With the help of BlueCat’s solutions, you can modernize your network to deliver core services—namely DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (together known as DDI)—that enhance resilience, bolster security, and ease the transition to the cloud.
A DDI solution for government and education
For state and local government essential services like emergency communications, network downtime is unacceptable. And in a campus environment, reliable network access is critical for students and staff. With high availability and failover designed from the start, BlueCat is trusted by numerous state and local governments and educational institutions to help keep their networks and devices reliably running 24/7. BlueCat Integrity provides an industry-leading solution offering seamless failover to ensure your DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) is resilient, minimizing downtime and ensuring operational continuity. Or, BlueCat Micetro offers a fast and flexible software overlay for DDI visibility and control.
Ransomware or other cyberattacks that target state or local governments or educational institutions can grind essential services to a halt. BlueCat’s security solutions utilize industry-leading threat feeds, policy-driven security rules to protect devices and networks at the DNS level, and advanced algorithms to detect threats like DNS tunneling or domain generation algorithms. BlueCat’s protective DNS solutions also integrate with your existing SIEM or SOAR solutions, giving your security teams the relevant data they need.
The ability to make rapid network changes is critical to driving innovation. BlueCat’s Unified DDI solutions integrate with the most common IT management and network automation tools, such as ServiceNow, Ansible, and Terraform. Via APIs and directly through network protocols, our network automation and integrations automate hundreds of thousands of changes each day, allowing you to scale faster.
And because we recognize that one size does not fit all, BlueCat solutions can also be customized to your specific automation needs with the help of our professional services team.
Governments and educational institutions frequently use a multi-vendor approach to secure their networks. But with multi-vendor solutions comes increased complexity for managing configuration drift and diagnosing the root causes of issues. BlueCat’s Infrastructure Assurance helps you manage configuration drift across firewalls and load balancers, as well as observe the health and performance of your security and DNS environments.
Infrastructure Assurance provides proactive alerts for issues that can cause performance problems and generates recommended remediation steps to fix them before they impact your networks.
Goverments and educational institutions are moving to cloud-based solutions for improved scalability, flexibility, and reduced infrastructure costs. The risk of shadow IT makes it even more critical to maintain full visibility and control over what is happening on your hybrid and multicloud networks. BlueCat’s multicloud management solutions provide end-to-end visibility and optimization of cloud environments.
