Working with Devices

Introduction

The CoB platform enables you to interact with and configure a large pool of heterogeneous devices in a centralized and efficient manner. When it comes to device management, its advantages are multiple, in the sense that it...:

• Facilitates the management of a large number of devices.
• Minimizes operation time.
• Allows for configuration consistency across devices.
• Provides change management.
• Enables audit compliance.

Its capabilities in terms of device management are focused on four areas:

• Configuration management;
• Inventory records integration;
• Configuration templating;
• Configuration standards compliance.

Some of the areas where the CoB platform can be useful when dealing with devices include:

• Network-enabled devices configuration management.
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) control and automation.
• Continuous monitoring of security policies.
• Server configuration and management.
