ComGuard FZ to distribute BlueCat Networks' solutions in the Middle East and North Africa

ComGuard will demonstrate BlueCat's market-leading technology at GITEX Technology Week (Booth Z-T-23) from October 18-22, 2009 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

With global demand for BlueCat's market-leading IPAM technologies and DNS/DHCP appliances growing rapidly, this agreement with ComGuard will make it simple for any organization in the Middle East and North Africa to purchase BlueCat's innovative technology from a highly-qualified reseller with extensive knowledge of the local market. BlueCat will continue to extend its global reach by signing leading technology providers, brand-name systems integrators, and national and regional technology resellers worldwide throughout 2009 and 2010.

"As it is impossible to manage the increasing number of devices on the network with spreadsheets organizations in the Middle East and North Africa are demanding solutions that make it simple to deploy, manage, monitor and audit IP addresses across the entire organization from a single Web-based interface. BlueCat's market-leading IPAM, DNS and DHCP solutions integrate with Microsoft's Active Directory to make it simple to completely eliminate network accessibility headaches. No other solution makes it as easy to solve this increasingly-troublesome problem, and so BlueCat makes a great addition to ComGuard's 'Best-of-Breed' product line."

said Jayadevan K, Senior Vice President - Value Business, COMGUARD FZ-LLC.
