BlueCat, a leading provider of DNS, DHCP and IP address management solutions (DDI), has announced that Fujitsu has selected BlueCat to deliver the core DDI infrastructure for the Ministry of Defence’s Global Connectivity (GC) project.
Fujitsu’s GC network solution will transform the delivery of communications services across the MOD and securely deliver greater agility and mobility to Service personnel. Fujitsu will provide the services for the MOD for the next five years with the new network underpinning the delivery of current and emerging MOD services both in the UK and overseas.
Fujitsu’s selection of BlueCat’s solution was based on its ability to meet or exceed requirements in three key areas:
Performance: With BlueCat IPAM and API, Fujitsu can automate the allocation of IP addresses across their entire network ecosystem resulting in increased efficiency and a decrease in operational costs.
Availability: The resilience and extra-high availability of BlueCat’s DNS and DHCP core services enable Fujitsu to deliver an ‘always on’ network infrastructure.
Scalability: BlueCat’s architecture gives Fujitsu the ability to accommodate MOD’s current scale and to meet rapid network growth without having to re-architect the solution.
Tim Gibson, Vice President, Defence and National Security, Fujitsu, said: “BlueCat has proved to be a trusted partner who understands the security and availability requirements demanded by defence.”
Michael Harris, CEO, BlueCat, commented: “BlueCat is very proud to be partnering with Fujitsu on a project of such critical importance to the Ministry of Defence. As a core network service, DDI is mission-critical for organisations to enable resilient, scalable and, most importantly, secure network infrastructure.”
