BlueCat Networks provides Adaptive DNS, DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (IPAM) solutions for enterprises to secure and streamline their networks, especially in hybrid cloud environments. The products automate core network functions—DNS, DHCP, and IPAM—so teams can provision, monitor, and enforce network policies from a single source of truth. This helps reduce human error, speed up configuration, and improve threat detection and remediation across complex infrastructures. Unlike systems that rely on separate tools, BlueCat combines DNS security with centralized management and policy enforcement, focusing on governance, compliance, and automation for large-scale networks. The company aims to turn DNS from a potential risk into a robust line of defense, enabling faster digital transformation and easier operations for DevOps and NetOps teams.

BlueCat introduces BlueCat Horizon, a SaaS-first Intelligent NetOps platform for cross-domain network operations

BlueCat introduces BlueCat Horizon, a saas-first Intelligent NetOps platform for cross-domain network operations. GlobeNewswire Published Feb 10, 2026 Article content The platform delivers a unified control plane for DNS, DHCP, IPAM, security, and observability, empowering rapid, automated action across networks Article content NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - BlueCat Networks, the leader in Intelligent NetOps, today announced BlueCat Horizon, 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. Unveiled at Cisco Live Amsterdam, BlueCat Horizon introduces a common set of platform and infrastructure services that support multiple network applications and enable cross-domain use cases that were previously siloed. Article content Advertisement 1 Story continues below Article content BlueCat Horizon offers a shared control plane for network services, policy, identity, telemetry, analytics, automation, and AI-assisted intelligence. This unified approach platform lets teams apply consistent governance, correlate signals, surface prioritized insights, and take coordinated action across DNS, DHCP, IPAM, security, and network performance, enabling networks to automatically adapt and remediate issues as conditions change, without forcing infrastructure replacement or disruptive migrations. Article content Top Stories Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. Article content Built for cloud-first and hybrid environments, the platform's initial offering is Horizon DDI. It provides a common orchestration plane for third-party infrastructure and BlueCat-native solutions. By managing existing Microsoft Active Directory, BIND, Kea, and cloud DNS environments, organizations can adopt core DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) capabilities without risk. Lightweight, distributed, on-premises Service Points optionally add local policy-based delivery of DNS and DHCP and deep telemetry, while preserving data sovereignty. Article content Advertisement 2 Story continues below Article content "Most network teams are constrained by tools that operate in isolation and require constant swivel-chair operations," said Scott Fulton, BlueCat's Chief Product and Technology Officer. "BlueCat Horizon changes that model by providing shared platform services that connect insight to action. It provides a practical architecture for moving from reactive operations toward automated, policy-driven, and ultimately self-healing, intelligent networks." Article content From visibility to decisions and action Article content Rather than treating observability as simply the collection of network data, such as SNMP and flows, BlueCat Horizon focuses on decision enablement and operational outcomes. By combining a broad set of network data with IPAM context and DNS control-plane insights, the platform enables use cases that span applications and teams: Article content * Context-driven operations and investigation: Network performance and incidents are enriched with ownership, location, and service criticality, allowing teams to understand not just what is happening, but who and what is impacted, and why it matters. * Intelligent traffic steering and resilience: Real-time network intelligence informs DNS and GSLB decisions, enabling automated, policy-driven traffic steering that improves user experience. * Closed-loop security response: DNS-based threat detection, correlated investigation with all traffic from a potentially compromised endpoint, and automated containment work together to reduce response times from minutes to seconds by linking security insights directly to network controls. Advertisement 1 Advertisement 2 Article content Horizon's common data model, shared analytics, and AI-assisted insights layer enable cross-application scenarios by reducing manual correlation, prioritizing high-impact and high-risk issues, and increasing automation in incident resolution. Article content A modular foundation for Intelligent NetOps Article content BlueCat Horizon is powered by proven BlueCat technologies. These include Micetro for IPAM and DNS/DHCP orchestration, Edge for advanced resolver services and Global Server Load Balancing, and LiveWire and LiveNX as a foundation for expanded observability and intelligence. Delivered through a unified SaaS experience, the platform lets organizations start with core DDI capabilities, incrementally adopt services as needs evolve, and progressively advance toward autonomous, self-healing network operations.
