Products: Intelliden OS Manager

The OS software complexity faced by today’s network management organization is increasing due to the number of different devices, hardware lines, release modes and feature sets that co-exist in the network. The need to manage potentially hundreds of OS versions in an increasingly distributed enterprise with network silos and remote locations can be laborious. Adding to the complexity are shortening maintenance windows and periodic regulatory mandates which require that devices have the latest security patches installed on them.

The Intelliden OS Manager application provides flexible, reliable and automated management of operating system (OS) software in multi-vendor networks.

 


Key Capabilities
  • Holistic view of multi-vendor devices and software versions
  • Unified repository with valid OS images and upgrade requirements
  • Reliable, configurable upgrades with high degree of consistency and accuracy
  • Comprehensive audit tracking of all OS changes and transactions

Solution

 

Designed to provide a holistic view of network devices and associated software versions in a unified repository, Intelliden OS Manager can support hundreds of thousands of devices across multiple vendors, types and models. The application supports secure data protocols for image transfer and ensures that only approved users can access specific devices and perform upgrades.

 

In combination with Intelliden’s Policy Based Compliance Management application, OS Manager enables network engineering to monitor all OS versions in use across the network, flag devices with software versions that do not meet corporate policies, and upgrade those devices to bring them back into compliance.
