What role does BlueCat Networks' IPAM play in HP Network Consulting for IPv6 services?

BlueCat Networks’ IP Address Management (IPAM) technology is incorporated as a component within HP Network Consulting for IPv6 services to help organizations simplify and manage the transition to IPv6. Specifically, IPAM provides centralized management of core IP services, enabling visibility and control over addressing and DNS/DHCP functions. When combined with HP’s readiness assessment, architecture and design, integration and deployment services, the IPAM capability supports enhanced network flexibility and scalability required for virtualization, cloud initiatives, and continued business continuity during the IPv6 migration.

How does the combined HP and BlueCat offering help enterprises and governments with IPv6 readiness?

The combined offering addresses IPv6 readiness by pairing HP’s consulting services—which assess IPv6 readiness and provide architecture, integration and deployment—with BlueCat’s IPAM technology that centrally manages IP addressing and core services. This approach enables organizations to evaluate their current environment, design an IPv6-capable architecture, and implement changes while maintaining DNS/DHCP and address management. The result is a smoother transition that preserves connectivity, supports scalability for cloud and virtualization projects, and helps ensure business continuity during the IPv6 shift.

What operational benefits does BlueCat claim its IPAM solutions provide during network transitions like IPv6?

BlueCat states that its IPAM solutions deliver smart, simple, scalable management of ‘‘everything IP’’ from a single pane of glass, which helps organizations manage network growth and change such as the IPv6 transition. Operational benefits highlighted include enhanced resilience, cost-effectiveness, and easier management of core IP services, which support the rollout of new IP-dependent services like virtualization and cloud computing. BlueCat also notes its solutions have been deployed in demanding and secure organizations and were rated Strong Positive in Gartner’s 2011 MarketScope for DNS, DHCP and IPAM, implying credibility for supporting complex transitions.
