Sydney, Australia, March 9, 2009 – Unixpac, the IT security products distributor launched today BlueCat’s virtual appliances Proteus V and Adonis V. Effective immediately Proteus V and Adonis V are available to select Australian and New Zealand customers for Early Adopter testing.
The costs of maintaining a datacenter can be expensive. As networks have grown exponentially in size, so have the infrastructure and applications needed to support them. BlueCat’s virtual appliances allow customers to consolidate core network services in the datacenter and branch office to reduce energy costs and save money. In response to significant customer and market demands BlueCat has developed virtual appliances for its ProteusTM IPAM and AdonisTM family of DNS/DHCP solutions. The virtual Proteus IPAM and Adonis DNS/DHCP appliances are based on BlueCat’s award-winning physical appliances. Combining BlueCat’s secure operating system, along with enterprise-level DNS, DHCP and IPAM, provides customers with a virtual appliance that can be easily deployed and maintained.
“We are thrilled by this announcement from BlueCat Networks” said Tom Piotrrowski, Managing Director of Unixpac. “BlueCat Networks offers true enterprise-class IP address management platforms in the form of proven, secure, reliable and scalable network appliances and making them now available on Virtual Server platform in form of the virtual appliances will change the game dramatically.” Piotrowski added.
Developed for organizations that have implemented a virtual infrastructure, the new virtual appliances will enhance the market-leading IPAM and DNS/DHCP functionality, for which BlueCat’s physical solutions are recognized. BlueCat’s new virtual appliances make it easier than ever before for organizations to accelerate software deployment and simplify management, while leveraging their existing investment in virtual infrastructure. Organizations will now be able to rapidly provision DNS/DHCP for capacity handling and relocate DNS/DHCP services fromone server to another for disaster recovery support – all without having to install any additional physical systems.
The proliferation of such technology as VoIP, Virtualization, RFID, Wireless and IPv6 is making it impossible for organizations to continue managing IP addresses with spreadsheets and homegrown solutions. BlueCat’s market-leading solutions integrate with Microsoft Active Directory to completely eliminate network accessibility problems by making it simple and secure for administrators to centrally deploy, manage, monitor and audit IP addresses across an entire organization from a single web-based interface.
