BlueCat Networks, the leader in Intelligent NetOps, today unveiled BlueCat Horizon, a SaaS-based platform designed to transform network operations for enterprises and mid-market organizations. Launched at Cisco Live Amsterdam, Horizon provides a shared control plane that unifies network services, policy, identity, telemetry, analytics, automation, and AI-assisted intelligence, enabling cross-domain coordination previously limited by siloed tools.
BlueCat Horizon addresses the challenges of fragmented network tools that force teams into constant manual switching between systems. By offering shared platform services, it connects insights directly to automated actions, paving the way for policy-driven and ultimately self-healing intelligent networks.
The platform is purpose-built for cloud-first and hybrid environments, allowing organizations to manage existing infrastructure without risky rip-and-replace migrations. Horizon DDI serves as the foundational orchestration layer, seamlessly integrating diverse DNS, DHCP, and IPAM sources.
“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.”
BlueCat Horizon goes beyond traditional observability by emphasizing decision enablement and operational impact. It enriches network data with IPAM context and DNS control-plane intelligence to drive practical use cases:
A common data model, shared analytics, and AI-assisted insights reduce manual effort, prioritize critical issues, and accelerate automation in incident handling.
BlueCat Horizon builds on established BlueCat technologies—Mictro for IPAM and orchestration, Edge for advanced resolver and GSLB services, and LiveWire/LiveNX for observability and intelligence. Delivered as a unified SaaS experience, organizations can start with core DDI and expand modularly as requirements grow, progressing toward autonomous network operations.
BlueCat Horizon is currently available for demonstration at Cisco Live Amsterdam, booth A19, with general availability scheduled for Q2 2026.
