BlueCat Address Manager is our only centralized system that can provide DNS services to all of our customers. I am completely satisfied with BlueCat’s products and the services of BlueCat’s professional personnel."
Intelligent NetOps for government networks
One operating picture for DNS, DHCP, IPAM, and network health across the tactical, base, remote, and cloud environments agencies depend on.
Trusted by government network teams
Government agencies deploy BlueCat DNS management solutions on multiple classification levels and network architectures.
Why fragmented visibility puts mission readiness at risk
Fragmented data slows root-cause diagnosis
DNS, DHCP, IPAM, device health, traffic flows, packet data, and change history sit in separate tools. Network teams may know something is wrong without knowing whether it comes from device saturation, interface errors, traffic congestion, packet behavior, a security anomaly, or a recent change.
Visibility gaps slow threat detection and response
Ransomware, DNS tunneling, and domain generation algorithms exploit the seams between siloed tools, widening the window between compromise and detection for stretched SOC and NOC teams.
Configuration drift raises mission risk
Manually reconciled changes across firewalls, load balancers, and DDI infrastructure make it harder to produce a consistent record of who changed what and when, and harder to keep that record accurate across bases, remote sites, and cloud.
Choosing your DDI modernization path
Appliance-based, an overlay on existing systems, or SaaS orchestration with local execution, so agencies modernize at the pace that fits the mission without moving data off networks that have to stay isolated.
BlueCat Integrity is a full appliance-based DDI solution providing DNS and DHCP with centralized IP address management, policy control, and automation. It replaces fragmented legacy infrastructure with one API-first system of record, giving network teams centralized policy enforcement, audit logs and event data, and high-availability architectures that keep mission systems reachable, resilient, and ready.
- Manage DDI across tactical, base, and cloud environments
- High-availability failover for services that cannot go down
- Enforce least-privilege access by role, down to individual DNS zones and IP blocks
- Produce audit logs and event data that hold up under review
BlueCat Micetro is an overlay that manages existing DNS and DHCP services without forcing a major replacement project. Network teams centralize control while current systems keep running, layering visibility and policy over Microsoft DNS, BIND, or other DDI already in place across bases and remote sites.
- Centralize control without ripping out DNS and DHCP already running in production
- See DNS, DHCP, and IP address data across every site in one view
- Cut manual ticket work with APIs, Ansible, and Terraform
- Modernize at the pace that fits the mission
BlueCat Horizon is a SaaS control plane for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM that orchestrates the infrastructure an agency already runs, including Microsoft Active Directory, BIND, Kea, and cloud DNS, without a migration. On-premises Service Points keep protocol services and high-volume telemetry local, so control logic runs in the cloud while sensitive data stays inside agency boundaries.
- Service Points keep protocol services and telemetry inside agency network boundaries
- Orchestrates Active Directory, BIND, Kea, and cloud DNS in place
- Connects DDI context to network observability
- Modernize without re-architecting existing DNS and DHCP
Without a common DDI view, each environment becomes its own silo, which means slower changes, more manual tracking, and riskier troubleshooting. Whether an agency deploys the full appliance-based platform or an orchestration layer over what it already has, it can see and manage IP space, DNS records, DHCP services, and related changes from one place.
Building your network observability layer
Performance monitoring, packet-level forensics, automated diagnostics, and AI-guided analysis, layered so teams adopt what they need and add the rest over time.
BlueCat LiveNX gives network teams real-time visibility using flow, API, SNMP, and cloud telemetry. Across tactical, base, remote, and cloud environments running multi-vendor equipment, LiveNX correlates performance data into one topology-based view so teams can act before issues disrupt critical missions. Network Resource Monitoring, an add-on, boosts device visibility and telemetry.
- Correlates flow, API, SNMP, and cloud telemetry in one view
- Network Resource Monitoring add-on for deeper device health
- Troubleshooting across complex, multi-vendor infrastructure
BlueCat LiveAssist analyzes telemetry, alerts, and configuration data across an agency environment to identify what is actually causing a problem. Engineers ask questions in plain language and get real-time answers with guided remediation steps, so network teams spend less time correlating dashboards and more time resolving issues.
- Correlates telemetry, alerts, and configuration across multi-vendor systems
- Natural language access to urgent risks and likely root causes
- Recommends specific remediation steps
BlueCat LiveWire captures packet-level data across the enterprise to support deep forensic analysis when incidents occur. Paired with LiveNX reporting, it helps NOC and SOC teams move from noticing an issue to pinpointing its exact source. Security Insights, an add-on, provides fast packet-level anomaly detection and forensics at the network edge.
- Enterprise-wide packet capture for forensic investigation
- Security Insights add-on for anomaly detection at the edge
- Historical visibility for post-incident review
BlueCat LiveAssurance automatically detects misconfigurations and service health issues across DNS, DHCP, and IPAM as well as firewalls and load balancers, and recommends remediation steps. For teams managing configuration drift across multi-vendor infrastructure, it closes gaps manual reconciliation would leave open, including post-change verification.
- Detects misconfigurations across DDI, firewalls, and load balancers
- Recommends remediation instead of just flagging alerts
- Post-change verification for auditable change control
From alert to root cause when a mission service degrades
Start with LiveNX to identify affected paths and traffic patterns. Use Network Resource Monitoring to check device health, pivot into packet evidence with LiveWire where deeper analysis is required, then use LiveAssist or LiveAssurance to guide root-cause analysis and remediation.
Faster diagnosis with shared operational context
Fewer escalations caused by missing evidence
Lower risk from undetected device, traffic, security, or change-related issues
