What's New in Orion NCM v5
Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM) represents the evolution of Cirrus Configuration Manager; in fact, it incorporates many of the product enhancements and features that you told us you wanted in a 21st-century configuration management solution. Tell us how we did with in our Product Review Forum on Thwack ».
As we transition from Cirrus v4 to Orion NCM v5, we hope that you will love the new features we’ve built into the product, including much tighter integration with Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM), as well as the introduction of a new, highly evolved website for configuration management. Version 5 of Orion NCM delivers enterprise-level capabilities that are typically reserved for five- and six-figure network configuration and change management (NCCM) deployments – but at a highly affordable four-figure price!
Orion NCM version 5 also offers new compliance, security and administration features – such as web based management, role-based access control and permissions, user activity tracking, and device login credentials. These features enable you to leverage Orion NCM not only for automating time-consuming, configuration-related tasks, but also for adhering to compliance mandates such as PCI, SOX, HIPAA, and other regulatory standards.
Here’s a look at the new and improved features in v5:
Seamless Orion NPM Integration - NEW IN V5
Orion NCM integrates seamlessly with Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) to deliver a comprehensive solution for managing configuration, fault, and performance across complex, multi-vendor networks. Through a single web console, now you can access both real-time availability statistics and configuration change history for all of your network devices, providing the complete network management solution that you’ve been searching for.
Intuitive Point-and-Click Interface - NEW IN V5
Orion NCM’s intuitive point-and-click interface enables you to visualize the health and status of enterprise-wide configurations, including device details, configuration backups, policy violations, and event history. With Orion NCM, detailed device configuration information is only a few clicks away in the highly evolved web console.
Multi-vendor Device Support - IMPROVED IN V5
Orion NCM provides built-in configuration management support for network devices from more than 16 different hardware vendors, including Cisco Systems®, Nortel Networks®, Motorola®, Extreme Networks®, Dell®, HP®, Adtran®, Riverbed®, 3Com®, Aruba Networks®, Juniper Networks®, Foundry Networks®, and many more. Additionally, users can easily modify or build device templates, enabling Orion NCM to scale to highly heterogeneous environments.
Network Discovery - NEW IN V5
Orion NCM scans your entire network and imports discovered devices into the Orion NCM database. This feature saves you valuable time by eliminating manual configuration and makes deploying Orion NCM faster and easier than you ever imagined. You can also import devices from third-party configuration management solutions to ease migration. Orion NCM was designed for do-it-yourself deployment that gets you up and running in less than an hour – without the need for expensive consultants.
Global Configuration Search - NEW IN V5
From Orion NCM’s advanced web console, you can perform a global search for specific text in any of your configuration files or find any node with matching text, making it easy to track down a specific configuration or node in seconds.
