Press Release Summary: Leader in IP Address Management selected by Network Products
Guide as Winner in the category of Network Management

Press Release Body: TORONTO, CANADA - May 13, 2008 - BlueCat Networks, the IPAM
Intelligence CompanyT, today announced that its IP Address Management platform,
Proteus, has been selected as winner of the 2008 Product Innovation Award by Network
Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication. BlueCat was selected
for the category of "Network Management" and has been recognized as a thought-leader
and innovator with regard to intelligent IP Address Management. BlueCat's
world-wide award winning product, Proteus, has been recognized as lowering the Total
Cost of Ownership and enhancing the end-user experience in driving leading market
place acceptance of IPAM Workflow including change approval, IP Reconciliation for
automated IP reclamation and a self-provisioning system for user-driven IPAM
requests. This latest award is recognition of the new benchmark set by Proteus in
the networking industry.

In the last few years, enterprise networks have grown at an exponential rate as
end-point devices are requesting a greater number of IP addresses that need to be
reconciled, managed and audited dynamically through a network appliance. Proteus is
the industry's most 'intelligent' IP Address Management platform; giving IT network
administrators the ability to centrally manage the entire IP infrastructure to
improve operational efficiency, network security and reliable delivery of
business-critical IP services.

"The goal of any product innovation should always be a positive change; making or
improving solutions better than before," says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network
Products Guide. "Innovative products such as Proteus bring improvements in many
areas including functionality, technical ability, and ease-of-use. BlueCat's
continued innovation and leadership demonstrate this positive change, which is why
we chose to recognize the company for this award."

"Today\'s networks are part of a mission-critical IT infrastructure fabric. They
provide the 'dial tone' of IT - an always-on, always-available service for
connecting to data and applications" writes Robert Whiteley, Principal Analyst,
Forrester Research, in his May 2007 report, Taking IP From A Commodity To A Utility.
"But most companies don\'t invest in the infrastructure that\'s needed to support this
dial tone. Forgotten services like DHCP, DNS, and RADIUS are critical network
services components that dictate availability. Yet most are woefully out of date,
stagnating on non-enterprise-grade infrastructure, with few security mechanisms. To
prevent your network from becoming an IT bottleneck, you must build a utility-grade
network; one where devices and services just plug in and work."

BlueCat Networks offers a true enterprise-class IPAM platform in the form of proven,
secure, reliable and scalable network appliances. Proteus gives administrators a
solution that integrates IP inventory tracking and allocation, along with DNS and
DHCP management. Administrators can design networks with a simple conceptual view,
then deploy and manage them across the organization. When managing DNS and DHCP,
Proteus becomes "mission control", offering full command, control and customization
of configurations from a centralized and secure Web-based interface.

"This latest award is an affirmation of our impressive sales growth with our IPAM
platform. Proteus continues to out-perform competitive product with unprecedented
end-user acceptance by easily automating what we have defined as IPAM Workflow."
said Richard Hyatt, CTO and co-founder, BlueCat Networks. "Network Products Guide's
award further validates our commitment to be the driving force in re-shaping the
methodology in networking technology. Our mission is to be the world-wide defacto
standard in IP Address Management implementing, deploying and managing both IPv4 and
IPv6 networking requirements."
