Simplify network operations with seamless automation and integration
Network automation for control and confidence
As your network becomes more complex, manual management increasingly becomes a barrier to agility. Teams end up working in silos, spending time on low-value, error-prone tasks.
Platforms that unite control and visibility for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (together known as DDI) help remove some of the complexity. But most DDI management platforms still require workarounds and manual processes.
What if your DDI management platform is ready for automation—without workarounds and manual hacks? Our API-driven, standards-based Integrity and Micetro platforms give you out-of-the-box automation—and the ability to quickly create custom workflows and automations with the tools you already use, from IT service management systems and configuration managers to CI/CD pipelines.

Our DDI management solutions and automation add-ons help you create meaningful automation and agility in your network.
BlueCat Integrity
Solid APIs are the foundation of automation, and we’ve built the entire Integrity platform around open, standards-based RESTful APIs. It’s completely extensible and supports seamless integration with the tools you already use.
Every interaction in the UI reflects a real API call—making it easy for you to observe API behavior, use browser developer tools, and rapidly build robust DDI automation.
In practical terms, that means:
Benefits:
With Integrity, DDI becomes a fully programmable infrastructure, providing enterprise-wide automation. It also includes Gateway—a Python-based developer platform—and our Applications Catalog, which features prebuilt apps and plugins.
BlueCat Micetro
Micetro can be deployed as a lightweight overlay or complete platform replacement to bring automation and visibility to your network. It helps you automate faster, modernize without disruption, and simplify the complexity of hybrid DNS and DHCP environments.
Micetro gives you several automation options, including REST API, SOAP API, and JSON-RPC. These APIs allow you to seamlessly integrate Micetro with other platforms and execute a wide range of automated operations.
With Ansible modules and plugins, you can connect to the Micetro API to create DDI workflows.

Gateway: Streamline network operations with advanced automation and integrations
Included with Integrity, Gateway is a Python-based platform that brings together all the building blocks for automating DNS operations into a simple and intuitive development environment. By using an API with a set of Python classes, it’s easy to integrate third-party solutions with BlueCat products.
Gateway provides hub for creating custom integrations and plugins that automate DDI-related tasks and streamline network operations.enefits:
Automate cloud provisioning
Provision and deallocate cloud resources at the speed your users require—accelerating DevOps and minimizing shadow IT.
Integrate everywhere
Gateway integrates with almost any application out of the box— empowering sophisticated end-to-end automation.
Support self-service
Empower users with automated DNS workflows, accessed through a self-service portal, to make and request DNS changes (like device registration or server provisioning) automatically.
Zero-touch administration
Automate backend functions, like failover for BlueCat Address Manager, to increase resiliency while minimizing human intervention.
Applications Catalog: A free library for accelerating automation
The Applications Catalog is a library of applications and plugins that integrates DDI data with a comprehensive (and growing) ecosystem of network, security, and cloud vendors. It includes out-of-the-box applications, plugins, open source community offerings, and links to a growing list of network partners.
Automation is a key step on the path to Intelligent NetOps
Intelligent NetOps connects infrastructure, observability, and security through a layer of automation and insight.
BlueCat helps teams lay the groundwork for Intelligent NetOps by bringing together core network services and operational telemetry to automate DDI while integrating seamlessly with IT service management, DevOps, and cloud workflows.
By correlating how changes are made, monitored, and measured, BlueCat enables a smarter, more adaptive network, ready to support evolving business needs and accelerate the future of intelligent networks.
