Solutions for NetOps practitioners

When your network problems require fast fixes for complex problems—or when your network needs to modernize to support business growth—we have solutions that can help.

How BlueCat can help

Manage DNS across cloud and on-premises environments

Unifying your DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (together known as DDI) into a single management platform provides enhanced visibility and control over your core network services, alleviating complexity and manual effort.

However, traditional DDI management tools weren’t built for multicloud environments, resulting in numerous exceptions. Edge Resolver is a lightweight, cloud-managed software solution that delivers advanced DNS capabilities via service points deployed across the edge of your network. The result is intelligent forwarding and authoritative resolution, offering seamless DNS management across cloud and on-premises environments.

Speed up your response to network issues (or prove it wasn’t the network)

Network performance can be tricky to manage. You need to capture the correct data and know exactly where to look—unless you have tools that do it for you.

LiveNX, the industry’s leading network performance monitoring platform, provides more than just basic visibility. It delivers deep observability across on-premises, SD-WAN, cloud, and hybrid environments, along with actionable insights that help you understand what’s happening in real time, when it matters most. 

With built-in troubleshooting, intelligent analytics, and full flow and packet data capture, LiveNX empowers teams to quickly pinpoint root causes, accelerate resolution, and confidently demonstrate when the network isn’t the issue.

Improve on Windows-based DNS for a hybrid environment

Relying on Microsoft DNS limits visibility, control, and automation—especially across hybrid and multicloud environments.

Unifying your DDI with Integrity or Micetro provides centralized visibility and control, regardless of the complexity of your environment. It’s easier to make changes, enforce policies, and ensure performance and security across your entire network.

With Integrity, your DDI becomes a fully programmable infrastructure, providing enterprise-wide visibility, control, and automation. Micetro can be deployed as a lightweight overlay to your existing DDI environment or as a complete platform replacement, bringing automation and visibility to your network.

Add advanced network automation capabilities

Network teams spend hours each week on basic tasks—from Wi-Fi password resets to DNS record changes—that should be automated.

The smart move is to utilize a DDI management platform for developing and deploying modular, automated workflows that simplify DDI tasks, automate provisioning, enable risk-free self-service access to DNS, and automate IP address assignment.

Integrity unifies DDI, and its API-first architecture enables automation at every level. Its standards-based, fully documented RESTful APIs give you deep flexibility in multi-vendor environments. Reusable workflows via a wizard, Ansible modules, Terraform providers, and support for CI/CD pipelines allow you to deploy infrastructure programmatically and be automation-ready from day one. 

Integrity offers higher consistency and lower risk, and helps put you on the path to infrastructure-as-code.

The Intelligent Network will transform your job

The Intelligent Network—self-healing, self-optimizing, and deeply automated—is coming. Unifying DDI establishes a foundation for automating everyday tasks and represents a major step toward full-scale modernization, making networks easier to manage, more secure, and more performant. BlueCat enables a smarter, more adaptive network, ready to support evolving business needs and accelerate the future of intelligent networks.
