The document discusses IP address management (IPAM) and how it involves managing IP addresses, host names, DNS, and DHCP. It notes the challenges of legacy tools in addressing modern mobility and cloud computing trends. IPAM provides automation, auditing, visibility, consistency checks, and support for IPv6 to simplify requests and administration across networks, DHCP, and asset systems. The discussion focuses on how BlueCat provides a centralized IPAM platform to manage over 25 million IP addresses with high performance and scalability.
