BlueCat Networks, the IPAM Intelligence Company™, today announced that its IP Address Management platform, Proteus, has been selected as winner of the 2008 Product Innovation Award by Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication. BlueCat was selected for the category of “Network Management” and has been recognized as a thought-leader and innovator with regard to intelligent IP Address Management. BlueCat’s world-wide award winning product, Proteus, has been recognized as lowering the Total Cost of Ownership and enhancing the end-user experience in driving leading market place acceptance of IPAM Workflow including change approval, IP Reconciliation for automated IP reclamation and a self-provisioning system for user-driven IPAM requests. This latest award is recognition of the new benchmark set by Proteus in the networking industry.

In the last few years, enterprise networks have grown at an exponential rate as end-point devices are requesting a greater number of IP addresses that need to be reconciled, managed and audited dynamically through a network appliance. Proteus is the industry’s most ‘intelligent’ IP Address Management platform; giving IT network administrators the ability to centrally manage the entire IP infrastructure to improve operational efficiency, network security and reliable delivery of business-critical IP services.

“The goal of any product innovation should always be a positive change; making or improving solutions better than before,” says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. “Innovative products such as Proteus bring improvements in many areas including functionality, technical ability, and ease-of-use. BlueCat’s continued innovation and leadership demonstrate this positive change, which is why we chose to recognize the company for this award.”

BlueCat Networks offers a true enterprise-class IPAM platform in the form of proven, secure, reliable and scalable network appliances. Proteus gives administrators a solution that integrates IP inventory tracking and allocation, along with DNS and DHCP management. Administrators can design networks with a simple conceptual view, then deploy and manage them across the organization. When managing DNS and DHCP, Proteus becomes “mission control”, offering full command, control and customization of configurations from a centralized and secure Web-based interface.

“This latest award is an affirmation of our impressive sales growth with our IPAM platform. Proteus continues to out-perform competitive product with unprecedented end-user acceptance by easily automating what we have defined as IPAM Workflow.” said Richard Hyatt, CTO and co-founder, BlueCat Networks. “Our mission is to be the world-wide defacto standard in IP Address Management implementing, deploying and managing both IPv4 and IPv6 networking requirements.”
