IPv6 News

BlueCat Networks, the IPAM Intelligence™ company with over 1,500 clients worldwide, has received the highest rating given to vendors in the Gartner authoritative “MarketScope for DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management (IPAM), 2011″^* report.

In the MarketScope report, Lawrence Orans, a research director in Gartner’s Research organization, notes that “IPAM applications offer a range of capabilities for controlling, automating and managing the domain name and address space, and these tools are a significant improvement over spreadsheets and homegrown address management applications.” Further, “Gartner estimates that the DDI market generated approximately $216 million in 2010, representing a 23% increase over 2009. They estimate that the market will grow another 28% in 2011, to approximately $276 million.”

“We are thrilled to receive this ’strong positive’ rating from Gartner based on an expert evaluation of our IP Address Management, DNS and DHCP solutions,” said Michael Hyatt, CEO and co-founder of BlueCat Networks. “We believe our momentum is unmatched in this report and it is proof that the investments we have made in our products and in our world-class support and professional services organizations are exactly what the market wants. BlueCat Networks’ success in winning several large deals, along with its strengthened distribution channel and solid organic growth, are powerful testaments to our product and business strategy.” Hyatt continued, “The proliferation of IP-enabled devices, as well as strategic initiatives such as virtualization and private clouds, are driving the adoption of IPAM solutions. BlueCat Networks is uniquely positioned to help organizations improve the manageability, resiliency and efficiency of their networks and, as a result, we are showing up on more ’short lists’ of Gartner clients.”
