A number of factors are fueling the demand for a new, intelligent approach to IP Address Management (IPAM). This document describes these factors while highlighting deficiencies in the legacy IPAM solutions and manual management techniques commonly used today. It also introduces the 'Five Pillars of IPAM Intelligence', BlueCat's framework for articulating its revolutionary, holistic approach to IPAM, and the foundation for the design of Proteus, BlueCat's next generation, intelligent IPAM platform.

This paper briefly traces some of the challenges involved with IP address distribution over the past two decades, to the current adoption of DHCP as the dynamic protocol of choice for pain-free management of network resources. Integral to the theme of secure yet reliable network administration is the integration of DNS and DHCP into a single network device called the Adonis DNS/DHCP Appliance which ensures that traditional barriers to secure and effective resource allocations are overcome with an efficient yet easy-to-use solution that enhances enterprise information security.

Are you looking for a comprehensive solution that addresses insufficient or congested bandwidth, impaired application performance, slow remote backup and replication or obstacles to IT consolidation? This paper will explain how Riverbed, whose product line, the Steelhead family of appliances, enables users to enjoy LAN-like access to important data and applications regardless of their location.

The design of POP3 and its procedures support end-users with intermittent connections to retrieve email when connected and then to view and manipulate the retrieved messages without needing to stay connected.  It is possible to intercept the protocol and provide transparent scanning of messages to enforce anti-virus, anti-spam and policy regulations. However, doing this ‘online’ has limitations, inherent with the POP3 protocol itself.
