It’s official! BlueCat has acquired LiveAction’s network observability and intelligence platform, which helps large enterprises optimize the performance, resiliency, and security of their networks.
We’re thrilled to announce that BlueCat has closed its agreement to acquire LiveAction.
Today marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for both our companies and, most importantly, our customers. Together, we’re uniquely positioned to help organizations modernize and optimize their networks in a way that has never been done before.
BlueCat has always been committed to network modernization, helping customers ensure that networks are agile, resilient, and prepared for the future. However, modernization alone isn’t enough. Without optimization, even the most modern change-ready networks can suffer from performance, reliability, and security challenges.
That’s where LiveAction comes in.
The power of network observability and performance management
LiveAction’s expertise in network observability and performance management is the perfect complement to BlueCat’s deep understanding of DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (known together as DDI). With LiveAction, views can be expanded beyond DNS and dive deeper into the health of the network itself. This means our joint customers will get a full picture of their network—from DNS-level insights to comprehensive traffic flows and performance monitoring across all network protocols. That helps large organizations get ahead of network and security performance issues before they impact applications, customers, and business services.
Building on BlueCat’s legacy: From Indeni to LiveAction
In 2023, BlueCat acquired Indeni (re-branded as BlueCat Infrastructure Assurance) because we recognized that organizations needed to assure the health and performance of DDI services and their associated load balancers and firewalls. Acquiring LiveAction extends those capabilities, enabling organizations to isolate the source of response time issues, inform network policy, and optimize network capacity.
BlueCat’s industry-leading DDI solutions are the source of truth for what is on the network. We help network teams automate and secure the provisioning, orchestration, and configuration of foundational network services. LiveAction’s solutions provide the source of truth for what is happening on the network—empowering network and security teams alike.
Looking ahead: growth, innovation, and integration
The combination of LiveAction and BlueCat strengths means that we can offer unparalleled support to our customers. Together, we’re not just modernizing networks; we’re making them smarter, more efficient, and more secure.
We look forward to the journey ahead and are confident that this acquisition will unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation. We’re sharing use cases between our offerings with common customers and expect to deliver integrations between our offerings in the months ahead.
Thank you for your continued trust in BlueCat and LiveAction.
