Are you still using Excel spreadsheets to manage your IP addresses? If you do, how hard is it to keep that spreadsheet up to date? Considering the needs not only of compliance but the need in an DHCP environment to historically track IP addresses to individual computers, your Excel spreadsheet is likely not enough.

Enter the BlueCat Networks Proteus Platform. This appliance-based toolset for managing the IP addresses in your network interfaces directly with your DHCP and DNS servers to provide real-time and historical reports of IP address usage and trending information.

In this podcast we'll talk with David Martinek and Branko Miskov of BlueCat Networks, makers of the Proteus Platform, about the need for automated IP management and how it can improve your ability to monitor and manage your enviornment.
