Zero-touch Provisioning
Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), or zero-touch enrollment, is the process of remotely provisioning (technology), provisioning large numbers of network devices such as switches, routers and mobile devices without having to manually program each one individually. The feature improves existing provisioning models, solutions and practices in the areas of wireless networks, (complex) network management and operations services, and Cloud computing, cloud based infrastructure services provisioning. ZTP saves configuration time while reducing errors. The process can also be used to update existing systems using scripts. Research has shown that ZTP systems allow for faster provisioning versus manual provisioning. The global market for ZTP services was estimated to be $2.1 Billion in 2021. In April 2019, the Internet Engineering Task Force published RFC 8572 Secure Zero Touch Provisioning (SZTP) as a Proposed Standard. The FIDO Alliance published FIDO Device Onboard version 1.0 in December 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Provisioning (technology)
In telecommunications, provisioning involves the process of preparing and equipping a network to allow it to provide new services to its users. In National Security/Emergency Preparedness telecommunications services, ''"provisioning"'' equates to ''"initiation"'' and includes altering the state of an existing priority service or capability. The concept of network provisioning or service mediation, mostly used in the telecommunication industry, refers to the provisioning of the customer's services to the network elements, which are various equipment connected in that network communication system. Generally in telephony provisioning this is accomplished with network management database table mappings. It requires the existence of networking equipment and depends on network planning and design. In a modern signal infrastructure employing information technology (IT) at all levels, there is no possible distinction between telecommunications services and "higher level" infrastructur ...
