Product Overview: MANTLE

What is MANTLE?

MANTLE is an automation platform designed to simplify and enable edge operations through a consistent Infrastructure-as-Code deployment model. It allows users to automate the provisioning and configuration of infrastructure at the edge, whether in connected or Disconnected, Degraded, Intermittent, or Limited (DDIL) environments.

Key Features

  • Hardware Agnostic: Works across various platforms, including data centers and networking equipment.
  • Rapid Deployment: Enables rapid and repeatable Day 0 operations.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Simplifies edge management with an intuitive interface.
  • Scalability: Scales effortlessly to accommodate complex operations.
  • Reliability: Ensures correct configurations every time, reducing errors and downtime.
  • Disconnection Support: Operates fully in disconnected states for mission-critical environments.

MANTLE supports operations for:

  • Fixed-site and mobile data centers
  • Independent networking and ancillary devices
