Opsware Network Management- TrueControl Network Automation

Network Management in today's network infrastructure presents enormous challenges to organizations due to scale and complex topologies. With increasing frequency, networks must comply with regulations and security best practices, while at the same time supporting mission-critical business processes.

TrueControl (Opsware Network Automation) tracks and regulates configuration and software changes across network devices (also known as network configuration control).
