Company mission
To help the world’s largest organizations thrive on network complexity, from the edge to the core.
Our take
Most enterprises today still rely on outdated DNS systems, which can slow down IT operations considerably. BlueCat Networks solves this problem by giving companies access to faster, more efficient DDI solutions.
BlueCat's solutions help companies to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing and automation. This appeals directly to large-scale companies looking to streamline IT operations, and save valuable time and money. In 2017, BlueCat was sold to US-based PE giant Madison Dearborn Partners for $400 million, however, the company is set to be acquired by Audax with an acquisition value of over $700 million.
Parternships with companies such as e92plus have allowed BlueCat to reach a wider customer base in the UK. These sorts of partnerships will be instrumental for the company as they continue to scale.
