- Provides an intuitive user interface so that all relevant device information (e.g. hardware, configuration history, changes and activities) and frequently performed functions are no more than a click away.
- Limit user access to part of a device configuration or selected commands - an essential feature for virtualized or multi-service environments, or where there is a need for greater device control.
- Provides a reusable policy framework for configuration policy validations of regulatory mandates, security and operational policies (e.g. engineering standards).
- Enables rapid integration with 3rd party apps e.g. IT automation, CMDB and network management, help desk, as well as enterprise workflow. Every configuration function is exposed through open APIs.
- Operates on a variety of server platforms including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Sun Solaris as well as in a virtual VMWare environment. It also requires Oracle relational database to be installed for persistent data storage.
