BlueCat Networks

BlueCat Networks provides Intelligent Network Operations solutions focused on DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI). The company offers a suite of products and services designed to automate, optimize, and secure network infrastructure for enterprises globally. Their DDI platform serves as the foundation for network visibility and control, enabling organizations to manage network changes and modernization initiatives. The company has expanded beyond traditional DDI through strategic acquisitions. In 2023, BlueCat acquired Indeni for network infrastructure monitoring and automation capabilities, and Micetro to broaden their DDI solutions portfolio with orchestration overlay options. In 2024, they acquired LiveAction to add network observability and intelligence capabilities to their platform. BlueCat's approach centers on Intelligent NetOps, a discipline that integrates tools and processes to coordinate network, DevOps, cloud, and application teams. Their solutions address challenges related to network agility, performance, and security as organizations pursue cloud adoption, AI initiatives, and digital transformation. The platform aims to enable self-healing, multi-vendor networks that can predict, detect, and resolve issues autonomously. The company serves nearly 1,000 enterprises worldwide and maintains offices in Toronto, New York, Germany, Iceland, Japan, Serbia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Founded in 2001 to address gaps in DNS appliance solutions, BlueCat received investment from Madison Dearborn Partners in 2017 to accelerate product innovation.
