Config Drift & Audit monitors configuration, detects drift, and surfaces audit and compliance issues; OS Manager is designed to coordinate network operating system and firmware upgrades. Integrations include Ansible, Linux and Python scripts, NetBox, and StackStorm integration packs, while GluAPI provides programmatic access. Gluware Control is available in cloud or on-premises deployments. Titan adds agentic AI capabilities with MCP integration, validation, governance, and auditable outcomes.
