Lite has a distributed, multithreaded delivery mechanism. The system speeds configuration, increases accuracy over manual provisioning, and provides scalability while simplifying the process through automation so that a staff requires less expertise than they would need for manual deployment processes. Lite system administration functions allow user-based authentication. Managers can organize elements and templates into domains and sub-domains and assign permissions to each, based on the user group. Operators must enter a password to obtain access to permitted domains.
Selected users can create, read, update, or delete selected data.
Managers can limit visibility in sub-domains so that, for instance, a user can view or amend a router configuration but cannot download changes to the live device. Lite includes a Version Control Manager to archive the configurations and templates managed by the system. Version Control Manager allows you to store and view different versions of configuration files and templates, as well as differences between versions. A data store provides high-speed data retrieval to increase performance by allowing CIPM 2.0 Lite to cache current information in memory. Lite are available on a one-time or annual contract basis.
