Managing Configuration Files and Software (ResourceManager)

ResourceManager achieves new levels of maintenance efficiency and shortens work times through the management of configuration files and software on multi-vendor network devices.

In case of backing up configuration files for 50 network devices for example, work time will be reduced to approximately 1/4 of the time it once took. If you need to upgrade software (firmware) for the same number of devices, time will be reduced to approximately 1/16 of the time it took before using ResourceManager.

(*The above times will vary depending on the number of network devices and configurations)

Configuration File Management

ResourceManager effectively manages configuration files of devices on multi-vendor networks.

Batch backup of configuration files on multiple devices The configuration files of your multi-vendor network devices can all be backed up all at once. Generation management is performed for the backed up configuration files. Moreover, you can easily identify the changes through a function that displays differences in configuration files.

Batch updating of configuration files

Configuration files on your multi-vendor networks can all be updated all at once using the same procedure. A history of file updates is recorded.

Monitoring tampering of configuration files

Unauthorized overwriting of configuration files can be detected through the monitoring of network devices at regular intervals. You will be notified with an alert if a change to a configuration file is detected.

Software (Firmware) Management

Software on multi-vendor network devices can all be updated at once. Software (firmware) can be installed easily, even without knowing the different procedures that apply to each device software (firmware). Work time is reduced as software is installed on all the multiple devices at once. After installation, the devices must be restarted so that the new settings can take effect, and this can also be specified and executed on a schedule.

NEC SigmaSystemCenter Linkage Function (NetworkProvisioning)

Used with the server, storage, and network resource manager NEC SigmaSystemCenter, NetworkProvisioning can make changes to VLAN and load balancer settings of network devices according to the server configuration changes.
