Unless your remote is broken, we're guessing you don't leave the couch to change the channels on your television. So, why would you Telnet into each and every network device to make network configuration changes if you can do it automatically from a central location? Meet Cirrus.

Cirrus is an affordable, easy-to-use network configuration and change management solution that automates device configuration management across multi-vendor network infrastructures. Cirrus delivers a unique combination of scalability and robust functionality, such as:

• Automating network configuration changes – a process that our customers report is 10 to 50 times faster than manually updating devices
• Managing and controlling device configurations from a central console
• Detecting and alerting on network configuration problems in real time
• Rolling back configuration changes on demand
• Supporting 25 or 25,000 devices in a multi-vendor network environment

"With Cirrus, we are able to quickly define and implement scripts to automatically push out IOS upgrades, verify and, if necessary, standardize configurations across the country with minimal effort."
