The proliferation of such technology as VoIP, Virtualization, RFID, Wireless and IPv6 is making it increasingly difficult for organizations to continue managing IP addresses with spreadsheets and homegrown solutions. BlueCat’s market-leading solutions integrate with Microsoft’s (Nasdaq: MSFT) Active Directory to 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 with an easy to use web-based interface.
