BlueCat Micetro 2025 EMA Strong Value award badge for DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI).

Fast to deploy. Cost-effective. Easy to automate.

BlueCat Micetro earned a Strong Value rating in Enterprise Management Associates’ 2025 report for delivering fast, low-overhead DDI management and seamless control across third-party DNS and DHCP services, including Microsoft-native tools.

Take control of your network

Micetro lets your operations teams use Microsoft tools while centralizing visibility and control. Get the best of all worlds with granular access management, proactive alerting, and a one-stop shop for automation.

We specifically tailor dedicated Micetro DNS and DHCP Server (MDDS) appliances for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (together known as DDI) tasks. They ensure increased reliability and performance while maintaining robust security and scalability for on-premises, cloud, and branch networks.

Get real-time visibility into IP assignments across the whole network. Allocate and manage IP addresses with automated discovery and assignment, find available IPs, detect conflicts, and ensure efficient utilization.

Connect and orchestrate multiple platforms within a single interface, using a single API. Automate anything Micetro can do through scripting and integrate seamlessly with third-party systems like network monitoring and observability tools and CI/CD pipelines.

Stay ahead of the curve with at-a-glance utilization information, smart health-check alerts, and easy configuration of scheduled or triggered events.

Simple and clear visualizations (of DHCP allocations, subnets, address spaces, and more) make it easy to plan and design your networks for optimal performance and reliability.

Ensure uptime with multi-layer redundancy

Failover management servers, redundant databases, and xDNS replication groups guarantee uptime.

Gartner Peer Insights

Bluecat is a reliable DNS and DHCP server and IPAM is crucial to managing our network. Before we maintained spreadsheets that weren’t always updated so we would run into IP address conflicts. With BlueCat all addresses are assigned through IPAM so it is centrally managed and always up to date.

Frequently asked questions

Explore common questions about BlueCat Micetro and how it modernizes DNS, DHCP, and IP address management.

Micetro is a DDI orchestration solution that unifies DNS, DHCP, and IPAM management across multi-vendor environments. It overlays existing infrastructure without disruption and centralizes control via a single UI and API.

Unlike systems that require replacing DNS or DHCP servers, Micetro overlays your existing Microsoft DNS, BIND, Kea, Meraki, Route 53, and Azure DNS environments—eliminating downtime and avoiding forklift upgrades.

Yes. Micetro overlays your existing Microsoft DNS and DHCP infrastructure without requiring any changes. It centralizes management in a single UI, replaces multiple server agents with one lightweight proxy, and offers granular permissions for DNS zones and DHCP scopes to reduce risk on domain controllers.

Micetro installs in under an hour on a virtual machine, on bare metal, or in a cloud environment, and is available as a free trial. It minimizes proof-of-concept friction and accelerates time to value.

Yes. Micetro consolidates management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM across on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud environments, providing unified visibility and secure monitoring of all connected network spaces.

Micetro removes the need for multiple agents on Microsoft DNS or DHCP servers, replacing them with a single proxy agent. It also standardizes workflows across vendors so teams don’t need new skill sets to perform routine tasks.

Yes. Micetro includes tools for IPAM accuracy, DNS workflow transparency, DHCP reliability, xDNS redundancy for DDoS defense, and reporting for trend and vulnerability analysis to improve uptime and network consistency.

Micetro supports Active Directory forest integration, Cisco Meraki SD-WAN orchestration, and a broad range of DNS/DHCP server types. It exposes a unified API for automated workflows and external integrations.

Micetro provides granular permissions down to specific DNS zones or DHCP scopes, reducing risk on domain controllers. It supports SSO and MFA to meet enterprise security requirements across hybrid environments.

Micetro is ideal for organizations that need centralized DDI visibility but are constrained by multi-vendor environments, legacy infrastructure, or the need to avoid disrupting existing DNS/DHCP services.

By avoiding forklift upgrades, reducing learning curves, preserving institutional knowledge, and improving automation across vendors, Micetro delivers a fast return on investment with minimal operational risk.
