COMING SOON | TECH PREVIEW
A SaaS-based control plane for Intelligent NetOps
Centralize orchestration, policy, and automation for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM while allowing services and data to execute where they belong.
BlueCat Horizon is a SaaS-based platform designed to modernize how enterprises and mid-market organizations operate, secure, and evolve their networks using AI-assisted insights and coordinated action across the network.
Network operations are outgrowing appliances and siloed tools
Teams must modernize DNS and DHCP across hybrid and multicloud environments, increase resiliency and automation, and do it without replacing critical infrastructure or centralizing sensitive operational data.
Main challenges for IT teams include:
- Fragmented DNS/DHCP/IPAM across tools and teams
- Manual workflows and brittle integrations
- Limited resiliency in distributed networks
- Governance drift across hybrid and multicloud
What is BlueCat Horizon?
BlueCat Horizon is a cloud-based orchestration and control plane for Intelligent Network Operations.
Shared control plane
Platform services for policy, identity, telemetry ingestion, analytics, automation, and AI-assisted intelligence.
Orchestrates heterogeneous environments
Works with Microsoft AD, BIND, Kea, cloud DNS, and third-party components, as well as BlueCat solutions.
Centralized governance without centralizing all data
Keep execution and sensitive data local; surface only what’s needed for correlation and insight.
Built to expand over time
Starts with DDI orchestration; evolves into advanced DNS services, observability, and AI-assisted operations.
How does BlueCat Horizon work?
Connect environments using secure agents and lightweight, distributed, on-premises Service Points
Orchestrate DNS, DHCP, and IPAM with policy-driven, bi-directional sync
Execute locally for resiliency, performance, and sovereignty, even during WAN disruption
BlueCat Horizon capabilities
Core DDI orchestration
DNS/DHCP orchestration
Centralize policy and lifecycle management across Microsoft AD, open-source, and cloud DNS/DHCP while preserving native workflows through bi-directional synchronization.
IP address management
SaaS-hosted IPAM for unified visibility across environments. Connect existing sources with an agent and get up and running fast without migrating infrastructure.
Built-in reporting
Create and export DNS, DHCP, and IPAM reports, including utilization, lease activity, and configuration changes, without additional licensing.
Core DDI capabilities powered by BlueCat Micetro.
Advanced DNS services (Coming soon)
Advanced Resolver
Centralized policy control with local enforcement for resiliency and performance across hybrid and multicloud environments.
GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing)
DNS-integrated traffic steering to route users to healthy and optimal endpoints.
Advanced Resolver and GSLB powered by BlueCat Edge.
Observability and AI-assisted operations (Platform vision)
Distributed observability, correlated centrally
Collect packet/flow/service signals where they’re generated. Surface metadata and analysis results to Horizon for cross-domain correlation without centralizing raw telemetry.
Cross-domain analytics
Correlate DDI context with network activity, performance, and security posture to prioritize insights and speed troubleshooting.
AI-assisted operations (future)
Enable faster root-cause analysis and coordinated remediation across distributed telemetry and services.
Vision reflects platform architecture and direction, not GA commitments.
