Orion Network Configuration Management (NCM), formerly known as Cirrus, is a comprehensive, intuitive solution allowing you to streamline and automate network configuration management. Orion NCM improves availability eradicating the time spent managing devices, improving security and ensuring policy adherence.

 Orion NCM is a standalone application, that can be integrated into the Orion Network Performance Monitor NPM providing a single application view of your enterprise wide network health. With Orion indicating that there is an issue on the network, view the configuration and the device history, to see if the issue is related to any changes. With Orion NPM receiving notification that a devices configuration has changed, the integration means that NCM can then download the new configuration, compare it to a baseline and email an administrator with the changes. Use this as part of your changelog procedure and to identify rogue changes.
