Provisioning Essentials comes with the standard Service Creation & Provisioning package and provides all the key elements for the provisioning process. For more technology/service-specific provisioning, check out the Provisioning Packs.

Provisioning Essentials includes:

Device Template Design (Per-Vendor, OS, and Version)

These device templates support Per Vendor, OS, and Version Template Design for repeatable, similar configurations across huge numbers of devices of varying vendor/OS/version that are automatically detected by the system.

Template-based Service Creation

IP/MPLSView supports the creation of service templates (for interfaces, protocols, policies, etc.) from which work orders can be generated. Flexible and fully customizable, service templates are based on user-defined variables to facilitate customer service creation. For more advanced template creation, see the Provisioning Packs.

Work Order Management

IP/MPLSView manages Work Order Creation, Tracking, Activation, Verification, History, and Rollback. By coordinating the interactions and complex task dependencies between the various provisioning components, IP/MPLSView also hides network complexity from network operators and simplifies the overall provisioning process.

Service Activation and Verification

When ready, provisioning work orders are activated and configuration changes pushed to the devices, with error reporting, commit, and rollback if necessary. A real-time network update of the live network model enables provisioned changes to be immediately verified against the actual network. Built-in CLI utilities also facilitate the checking of device configurations, routes, etc.
