BlueCat Networks, a provider of Network Operations solutions, will participate in Cisco Live, on June 16 and 17, at the Cobb Galleria Centre, Atlanta. Cisco Live gathers network integrators, security consultants, and technology leaders. Organizations need networks that can adapt quickly. However, existing complexities and older solutions can slow this process. A slow network can hinder customer experiences, threat detection, and the adoption of cloud and artificial intelligence.
Intelligent NetOps is a set of network infrastructure services. It helps with network access, automates provisioning, captures and analyzes data, and continuously optimizes and secures networks across hybrid and multicloud environments.
“A key challenge faced by networking teams is to efficiently and effectively manage disparate infrastructure across multiple environments while ensuring high levels of security and user experience,” said Brandon Butler, IDC Senior Research Manager for Enterprise Networks. “BlueCat’s DDI management and network observability solutions help teams overcome these challenges by providing intelligent visibility and analytics, which can be correlated with changes occurring across the network and on individual devices, enabling teams to maintain reliability and accelerate transformation initiatives.”
BlueCat is launching Integrity X, a platform designed to automate and manage core DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) infrastructure for enterprise networks. Built on a React framework with an API-first design that uses the OpenAPI interface, this release introduces a redesigned user experience. It aims to streamline workflows, improve security, and support innovation across hybrid environments.
“These enhancements are exactly what enterprise teams need,” said a senior developer of system design and architecture engineering at a large health care data provider. “BlueCat is listening, solving real-world DDI challenges, and enabling agile network infrastructure.”
Integrity X offers scalability, performance, accessibility, and extensibility, providing DDI solutions in one platform:
- Unified by design: A platform experience designed for today’s enterprise environments.
- API-first: Built on a RESTful API that is OpenAPI 3.0 compliant, supporting feature delivery, integration, and extensibility for automation-driven organizations.
- Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant, with high-contrast visuals, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
- Multi-language support: Localization in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese.
- Real-time visibility: Monitoring and an appliance metrics dashboard, based on open-source Prometheus, provide insights into DNS, DHCP, and IPAM health for proactive operations and troubleshooting.
“Integrity X provides a modern, standards-based path forward for customers who want control,” said Scott Fulton, Chief Product and Technology Officer at BlueCat. “New customers are relieved with the low-risk migration from other solutions, and existing customers have already been impressed with the ease of automation, scalability, and flexibility of the platform.”
BlueCat now provides NOC and SOC Dashboards to diagnose network performance and security issues with an improved certified Splunk application:
- LiveWire: Captures, analyzes, and streams security and performance telemetry from the network to Splunk and LiveNX.
- LiveNX: Continuously analyzes telemetry, SNMP, and API data for security indicators and anomalies, sending alerts to Splunk to aid in threat hunting and resolution.
- LiveNX’s alerting engine sends security indicators and network anomalies to Splunk.
- BlueCat’s Splunk crosslink capabilities enable packet or flow diagnostic research within Splunk.
- LiveWire and LiveNX 25.1 releases include additional instrumentation for DNS and DHCP, as well as automated troubleshooting for common runtime, performance, and security issues related to these services.
BlueCat also announced that Micetro, a DDI orchestration solution, is available on the Cisco Global Price List (GPL). Micetro integrates with Meraki, providing improved IPAM visibility and DHCP orchestration. This expanded availability aims to simplify procurement for customers and partners and highlights BlueCat and Cisco’s collaboration on network operations solutions.
