Virtual Design Workspace for EMC Ionix Network Configuration Manager (formerly VoyenceControl)

With the Virtual Design Workspace capability in EMC Ionix Network Configuration Manager (formerly VoyenceControl), you benefit from an exclusive network configuration design environment that gives you the tools you need to build networks that meet and exceed all corporate objectives—ensuring compliance, reliability, availability and performance.

With the Virtual Design Workspace you can work more productively, quickly and easily to achieve your most critical compliance, change and configuration management goals, including the ability to:

expand/close  Leverage existing designs or create new ones.

Virtual Design Workspace makes it easy to develop a new network design similar to one you’ve already deployed by using a “snap shot” of the existing site or customer network. You can also build reusable configurations for new designs—saving valuable time and resources. Importantly, by bringing your existing network into the Virtual Design Workspace, you can build in new features without disrupting the production network.

expand/close  Collaborate in real time with role-based security and ITIL-compatible workflow.

With Virtual Design Workspace, your design team can work collaboratively to customize a design quickly to meet the new network’s requirements. Full role-based security allows you to restrict who can see which configurations, as well as who can propose and approve changes to the design. Virtual Design Workspace allows you to customize design-change approval to align with your business processes—from using a single approver to requiring the sign-off of your entire change board. In addition, you can make changes with standardized ITIL change forms based on approved golden configurations for device type, class, and role, and then approve design changes with Network Configuration Manager’s ITIL-compatible multilevel workflow.

expand/close  Create large, error-free designs quickly and efficiently—and automatically.

Virtual Design Workspace virtually eliminates the human errors that can occur during the roll-out of multiple like devices with like configurations. Network Configuration Manager’s automation capabilities can create mass changes in minutes and substitute device-specific variables for each individual device. You’ll save the time and resources typically required to make identical changes manually, one device at a time.

expand/close  Ensure compliance with corporate policies and government regulatory standards.

With Virtual Design Workspace, you can run compliance checks prior to each design change or audit the entire change at any time, eliminating the risk of deploying a non-compliant design into a production network again. You’ll always know your design meets your policy, standards and regulatory requirements for device configuration prior to deployment.

expand/close  Intelligently track changes.

Because time doesn’t stand still for you to update a design, Virtual Design Workspace allows you to track and display configuration change status as it relates to the “real world” for each device in the workspace. When you start your design, Network Configuration Manager displays an icon indicating that the device configuration in the real world has changed or that your new design differs from the device in the real world. You can also use side-by-side comparisons of configurations to quickly display where the changes are.
