Personnel: Andrew Wertkin, Scott Penney

In this session, BlueCat’s VP of Strategy Scott Penney and Chief Strategy Officer Andrew Wertkin walk the audience through BlueCat’s solutions which allow centralized DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services to be leveraged for hybrid cloud success.

As a refresher, here are the major DDI problems related to hybrid cloud architecture we see at enterprises.

  1. DDI teams have zero visibility into or control of cloud DNS.
  2. Cloud and on-premises DDI are silos, threatening zone conflicts, errors and outages.
  3. The inability to automate and orchestrate rapid change slows innovation.
  4. A growing tangle of DNS forwarding rules to manage hybrid resolution creates complexity, consuming resources and impacting end user experience.

Using BlueCat’s Gateway, Integrity, and Edge products, Scott and Andrew will demonstrate how customers can achieve:

  • Visibility: seeing into all native cloud networks and resources as they are created.
  • Control: extending authoritative DNS to the cloud to reduce risk and allow for global visibility, control, automation.
  • Speed: enabling DevOps teams to move fast, while maintaining control and compliance.
  • Simplicity: cutting through the complexity of conditional forwarding rules to provide a more performant and appropriate end user experience.
