BlueCat Networks developed the Adonis™ family of secure DNS and DHCP solutions to solve several problems faced by today’s business networks. Misconfigured or misallocated IP infrastructures create complexity and pose security risks. Standard Microsoft Windows®-based DNS and older versions of BIND are inherently insecure. UNIX or Linux-based DNS solutions with BIND are more secure, but require dedicated expertise and are susceptible to syntactical and logical errors. Deployed externally or on an internal network, Adonis™ is the industry-leading DNS and DHCP solution that solves these issues and securely provisions mission-critical services.

More than just a provider of DNS and DHCP appliances, BlueCat Networks delivers a comprehensive approach to building secure, scalable, and reliable IP network infrastructures. BlueCat’s Adonis and Proteus appliance families deliver end-to-end IP address management for improved network accessibility and usability.

Benefits include increasing network control by securing crucial name services, provisioning and managing dynamic IP assignments, and improving network throughout with caching services. Based on purpose-built hardware, BlueCat’s Adonis and Proteus appliances are hardened and optimised by using a firewall-grade OS. Advanced clustering support ensures high availability architectures, while flexible design and deployment architectures enable organisations to securely provision mission-critical IP services without added complexity.

Adonis-secured DHCP solutions are the strong choice for organisations seeking to implement next-generation VoIP, or mixed-mode communication applications within existing networks. Based on industry-standard protocols, Adonis DHCP provides reliable, highly available, and easy-to-manage dynamic IP assignment. Like all BlueCat appliances, the Adonis DHCP solution also eases administration without sacrifice to security.
