BlueCat
Networks, the IPAM
Intelligence™ company, today announced that in response to
rapidly-increasing demand for its market-leading IPAM, DNS and DHCP
solutions in Europe, it has opened a new European headquarters in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The Amsterdam office is responsible for liaising with BlueCat Networks’
highly-qualified European channel partners to define business
opportunities and ensure distributors and resellers have all the
resources required to identify and maximize the marketing and sales
opportunities that will further drive BlueCat Networks’ market share.
Staffed by specialized IT sales experts with excellent European market
knowledge, the office is located at Johannes Verhulststraat 156A, 1071NP
Amsterdam, and can be contacted directly at +31 20 754 64 85.
The Amsterdam office is headed by Paul Couturier, the former Vice
President & General Manager for EMEA and APAC at TippingPoint, where he
was responsible for growing the international division of the company
into a multi-million Euro revenue business. With over 20 years of
highly-successful international IT sales and management experience, and
fluent in English, Dutch, French, Italian and German, Couturier’s proven
leadership qualities at such high-profile organizations as Siemens, HP
and 3Com make him ideally qualified to drive BlueCat Networks’ continued
rapid growth in Europe.
“Despite the global recession, worldwide demand for BlueCat’s IPAM and
DNS/DHCP solutions continues to grow rapidly, and the new Amsterdam
office is a direct result of BlueCat’s expansion in Europe,” said Paul
Couturier, Vice President, Europe for BlueCat Networks. “One of several
new BlueCat offices opening worldwide in 2010, the Amsterdam
headquarters will lead BlueCat’s aggressive marketing activities in
Europe,” Couturier continued. “This office will provide all the local
support and knowledge our growing number of European channel partners
require to ensure they can easily access the resources and training they
need to grow their customer base and maximize sales.”
BlueCat Networks’ unified approach, which enables management of all
network services, including DNS and DHCP, from a single Proteus IPAM
interface, has been embraced by such prestigious organizations worldwide
as Germany’s Göttingen University, Sweden’s SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda
Banken), and Georgia Tech in the United States.
“Avnet is pleased that BlueCat is underscoring its commitment to its
channel partners by opening a European headquarters in Amsterdam, which
will further support Avnet’s efforts in the UK & the Netherlands,” said
Bruce Hockin, Head of Business Strategy, Avnet Technology Solutions.
“This resource will help provide the additional local marketing and
technical support Avnet’s resellers require to maximize sales
opportunities in these regions,” Hockin continued. “Over the last 12
months, Avnet has seen a rapid increase in demand for enterprise-class
IPAM platforms and secure DNS/DHCP network administration appliances,
and has partnered with BlueCat Networks to ensure it can provide its
resellers with “Best-of-Breed” technology to address this growing
opportunity.”
“As the number of devices connecting to the network continues to
increase rapidly and new technologies like DNSSEC and IPv6 pose
additional challenges to network administrators, it is becoming
impossible to manage IP addresses with traditional spreadsheets and
configure DNS & DHCP servers, manually – which has resulted in an
incredible increase in demand for IPAM, DNS and DHCP solutions across
Europe,” said Rainer Maurer, CEO of n3k. “Over the years, BlueCat has
demonstrated an impressive ability to adopt as well as establish new
trends in the DDI industry, and its solutions are ideal for our
customers as they completely eliminate any network accessibility
problems by making it simple to centrally deploy, manage, monitor and
audit IP addresses across the entire organization from a single, secure
Web-based interface,” Maurer continued. “This new Amsterdam office shows
BlueCat’s commitment to Europe and will enable us to acquire
knowledgeable advice and resources from experts that are not only
familiar with IPAM as a technology but also with our local market –
making it easier for us to provide customers with the IPAM platforms and
secure DNS/DHCP network administration they require.”
BlueCat Networks’ physical and virtual appliances integrate with BlueCat
Networks’ own Adonis DNS/DHCP appliances and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT)
Windows DNS and DHCP to make it simple for administrators to fully
integrate IP inventory tracking and allocation, along with DNS and DHCP
management. Administrators can design networks with a simple conceptual
view, then deploy and manage them across the organization. When managing
DNS and DHCP, BlueCat Networks’ Proteus IPAM solution becomes “mission
control”, offering full command, control and customization of
configurations from a centralized and secure Web-based interface to make
it simple to eliminate all IPAM problems.
