Santa Clara, CA – (Month day, 2007) – BT Diamond IP, a leading global provider of products to automate and centralize complex IP management functions for mid-to-very-large-sized enterprise and service provider networks, announced today that its IPControl™ Sapphire appliances have received the World Class Award from Network Testing Labs, an independent technology research and product evaluation organization. Sapphire appliances are designed for enterprises and service providers with distributed network locations, enabling them to remotely administer IP address management (IPAM) policies and DNS/DHCP services from an intuitive central system while enjoying peace of mind from centralized patches and upgrades, and built-in security and redundancy features.
“The Sapphire product line is an impressive cure for IP address headaches on virtually any size network,” stated Barry Nance of Network Testing Labs. “They’re extremely well built, high performance DNS/DHCP engines that offer superior reliability and uptime. They’re simple and intuitive to use, and feature unassailable security.”
“We’re extremely pleased to receive another World Class Award from Network Testing Labs,” said Rick Tallman, BT INS senior vice president of software solutions. “Coupled with our leading IPControl software, which received a World Class Award in 2005, it’s no wonder that both IPControl and Sapphire appliances are fast gaining market share in the IPAM space.”
IPControl Sapphire appliances are an appliance-based implementation of the IPControl centralized IPAM software and the IPControl DHCP and DNS management software. Sapphire Appliances can be deployed to solely manage DNS/DHCP services across local or remote locations (x Series), or in a fully integrated IPAM solution (EX Series) for the inventory, configuration and capacity management of IPv4 and IPv6 address space and multi-vendor DNS/DHCP appliances or servers.
