At Interop Las Vegas 2006, BlueCat Networks is launching the Proteus Enterprise Internet Protocol Address Management appliance. The need for a dedicated IPAM appliance such as Proteus is driven by the growth in applications like VoIP, Internet-based video conferencing, and mobile and wireless technology. These and other applications, combined with the growing demands placed on enterprise networks with the Internet's evolution from IPv4 to IPv6, make it increasingly challenging for network administrators to effectively manage IP-based networks. In this interview with Michael Hyatt (CEO) and Richard Hyatt (CTO) of BlueCat, we learn about the new appliance and how IP address management will only get more complicated for companies in the future.
