Audax-backed BlueCat Networks to acquire LiveAction from Insight Partners.

Audax-backed BlueCat Networks, a provider of mission-critical network infrastructure management, automation, and security solutions, agreed to acquire LiveAction, a provider of network observability and intelligence solutions, from Insight Partners, a software investor. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Adding LiveAction’s industry-leading network performance monitoring, packet capture and forensics offerings considerably strengthens BlueCat’s mission-critical DDI and network infrastructure management solutions. Our acquisition of Indeni in 2023 (re-branded BlueCat Infrastructure Assurance) recognized that organizations need to be able to assure the health and performance of these core services as well as dependent load balancing and security devices. The acquisition of LiveAction goes a step further on this journey to provide deep insight into the network’s impact on business services, enabling organizations to isolate the source of response time issues, inform network policy and optimize network capacity,” Stephen Devito, BlueCat CEO.
