BlueCat Unveils New Intelligent Automation Capabilities to Enable Rapid Automation of Network Services for the Cloud, Data Center, and Hybrid Environments

BlueCat Gateway reduces the risk of costly errors and network outages, speeds up service delivery and cloud provisioning, and fuels business performance.

BlueCat, the Adaptive DNS™ company, announced a new set of free capabilities for BlueCat Gateway, the cornerstone of its Intelligent Automation ecosystem. As the pace of business increases exponentially, BlueCat is empowering organizations to make their complex networks programmable. In the past year, BlueCat invested in:

• Making BlueCat Gateway easier to integrate with broader customer technology ecosystems;
• Adding hundreds of free resources to its repository and training library; and
• Facilitating knowledge sharing for thousands of users in its BlueCat Labs community.

DevOps teams are increasingly required to scale faster in order to meet business demands. At the same time, recent research by BlueCat and IDG found that 66% of IT managers report struggling to support strategic business initiatives due to, among other things, manual network infrastructure processes. This creates risk, as enterprise networks are pushed towards – and sometimes past – their complexity thresholds. According to Gartner and Ponemon Institute respectively, network outages can cost as much as $540,000 per hour, and security breaches an average of $4M each.

“Effective network automation is now a prerequisite for business success,” says BlueCat Chief Strategy Officer Andrew Wertkin, “and BlueCat Gateway helps the world’s most ambitious organizations program their networks in that direction.”
