Innovators Wanted

Our credo begins with a determination to get to the essence of things—something that can never be achieved by borrowing ideas from others. We remain ambitious about what is possible, always asking whether there is a better way forward.

Value is created by acting promptly, not by waiting for perfect conditions. We hold to a steady axis of belief that is not swayed by noise or trends, and we trust in skills that can only be developed through sustained effort.

Comfort with the merely “ordinary” can quietly limit progress. We choose to value those willing to take risks, even when conventional thinking clouds the path ahead. What proves to be right is often complicated, tedious, and time-consuming. In the end, we believe happiness comes from helping others succeed.

About Storage Requirements

Net LineDancer uses proprietary algorithms to minimize the storage required to manage device configurations. Actual requirements depend on the size and change rate of the network.

  • Configuration management storage factor Whether the deployment includes Net LineDancer configuration management
  • Configuration size storage factor The average device configuration size
  • Configuration change frequency storage factor The frequency of configuration changes in the network
  • Configuration history retention storage factor The retention period for configuration history

In addition to device configurations, Net LineDancer also stores tool output and reports. Tool and report storage is generally larger than configuration storage.

As an example, one customer with 250+ primarily Cisco, Juniper, Extreme, and Foundry devices performs daily backups. After one year, the storage requirement for all configurations is approximately 12 MB.

Configuration storage requirements are approximately linear by device count. A 10,000-device environment performing daily backups for one year could expect roughly 500 MB of configuration storage.
