HorizON Software

Overview

ONPATH’s HorizON management and monitoring software provides intelligent, high-performance connectivity and monitoring. HorizON offers simple drag-and-drop provisioning and secure remote control of any ONPATH network. Compared to manual patching or complex mesh switching architectures, the software and hardware platforms combine to help network managers and operators conserve time, increase utilization, and save money. Read about ONPATH's key advantages.

HorizON software securely manages up to 32 separate switches and over 100,000 meshed ports in a single application. Connections can be managed based on authenticated user access control across groups and domains for instant activation, or scheduled for streamlined automation.

ONPATH's HorizON Software and 2900 and 3900 family of switches are engineered to meet the rapid reconfiguration of test automation, the challenges of cloud network infrastructures, and the critical demands of cyber security.

Intelligent

HorizON software provides a new level of intelligence, visibility, and interactive network control for instantaneous path reconfiguration, connectivity, monitoring, and troubleshooting for over 100,000 ports. HorizON enables multiple applications, multiple speeds, and multiple protocols ranging from legacy WAN to today’s 100G and beyond. HorizON Software’s connection manager can automate or schedule connectivity tasks and packet flows from network reconfiguration to remote tool management. Real-time and historical statistics increase network visibility, while system and traffic threshold alarming facilitates rapid isolation of problems. HorizON Dashboard views supply a constant view of network health.

Simple

The HorizON control system includes a graphical dashboard providing users with easy navigation between systems, clear presentation of system configuration, and capacity. Simple drill-down from the system to the port level and obvious alarm tracking, reporting, troubleshooting, and activity scheduling are also provided. The HorizON graphical topology manager abstracts the physical layer and packet flows, allowing simple drag and drop connections or test access monitoring between devices for fast, guaranteed connectivity. HorizON allows you to easily define, manage, and share filtering rules and aggregation topologies, and Automated Cross-Switch Link management provides seamless A to Z connections between ONPATH platforms.

Secure

HorizON is a Linux-based server software with a web-based thin client application, providing management of the family of ONPATH 3900 and 2900 switches from virtually any location. HorizON software is available as an individual or redundant external server (or embedded server in the 3900 Series). Authentication and Authorization capabilities ensure that HorizON aligns with your corporate infrastructure policies and provide secure remote CLI and GUI access with proper role-based control and auditing for up to 128 concurrent users. STIG and JITC compliance assessment guarantee mission critical environments.
