Overview
BlueCat DNS & DHCP for AWS is a tailored solution designed to bridge the network modernization gap by providing proprietary DNS services for hybrid cloud environments. Furthermore, it uniquely addresses the challenge of delivering a DHCP service from the cloud to exclusively on-premises DHCP clients. This is done by on-premises clients routing their DHCP Unicast traffic to this cloud-hosted BlueCat instance. Finally, this BlueCat instance seamlessly adapts to the evolving demands of hybrid cloud-based applications. Its integration with BlueCat Address Manager offers centralized control over critical DDI services, providing comprehensive insights into the interconnectedness of devices, users, and IP addresses across the enterprise. With BlueCat DNS & DHCP, users can confidently build and maintain a dynamic, change-ready network infrastructure to meet the demands of modern business environments.
