BlueCat DNS/DHCP
Jan 31, 2011
BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server™ is a software solution that can be hosted on the Citrix NetScaler SDX platform to deliver
reliable, scalable and secure DNS and DHCP core network services without requiring additional management costs or data
center space. Critical DNS services can be load balanced across multiple DNS nodes within a single system or across multiple
SDX appliances without the need for additional hardware.
Virtual instances of BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server™ can be hosted on NetScaler SDX to provide a smarter way to connect
mobile devices, applications, virtual environments and clouds.
Note: SR-IOV interfaces (1/x and 10/x) that are part of a channel do not appear in the list of interfaces because channels
are not supported on a BlueCat DNS/DHCP instance.
