TRANSFORM YOUR ORGANIZATION

Today’s typical large enterprise uses inadequate and limited DNS implementations, forcing them to maintain an environment that relies on manual processes that often lead to errors, complexity, poor visibility, and an insecure environment that is almost impossible to properly service or grow. BlueCat transforms network infrastructures, empowering IT to move the organization forward.

BlueCat is the leader in Enterprise DNS, with a software-centric approach to solutions that enables the centralization and data management of DNS, the automation of DNS and leverages DNS data for significantly increased value:

BlueCat enables Enterprise DNS for the world’s largest and most advanced organizations through innovative, software-centric solutions that enable automated, centralized, scalable, and secure network infrastructures, providing the foundation for digital transformation.

Centralize DNS Architecture

We consolidate server end points and normalize DNS data, creating a centralized infrastructure that is scalable and highly resilient with vigorous data integrity. DNS services are delivered across the enterprise with the flexibility to deploy in high-throughput, centralized architectures, or fully distributed environments with thousands of service delivery points.

Automate DNS Management

A consolidated and automated network infrastructure that is centrally managed arms the IT organization with the ability to push updates, detect threats and enforce policies immediately. BlueCat enables an automated environment through a robust library of APIs that facilitate instantaneous updates and provide seamless and instant access to users.

Leverage DNS Data

DNS data can provide powerful insights on what is going on in the network. However, collecting, analyzing and harnessing this information are often beyond the reach of most companies. BlueCat builds and leverages an evolving archive of DNS data, opening up limitless possibilities such as security and analytics.
