Global Commander
6connect Global Commander (GC) is a ProVision add-on module which allows for remote monitoring & control of distributed IP management systems. Global Commander can be enabled by procuring a license key from 6connect ProVision Support. Once you have the key, apply it to ProVision using the "Manage Licenses" area on the ProVision Admin page. This will enable the Global Commander navigation tab, containing two Global Commander sub-tabs: IPAM and Resource Tree.

6connect Global Commander (GC) is a ProVision add-on module which allows for remote monitoring & control of distributed IP management systems. The core use-case for Global Commander is a large organization whose departments all operate independently, and have developed their own internal IT systems, standards, and practices. This scenario is common for companies whose growth is driven by acquisition, and it is often very difficult to justify a departure from established, known-good practices to impose a single methodology company-wide. With so many actors working with mutually-incompatible systems it can be a challenge to know what is truly going on within an organization.

Global Commander allows you to establish a single, centralized IP Management plane whose purpose is the orchestration and distribution of large IP blocks throughout the organization.

Global Commander can also act as an IP broker for the organization and use its connectors to either push or pull IP blocks on the daughter IPAMs to allow for effective management by IP Architects. Additionally, once established Global Commander can act as a bridge technology to transition departments onto a centrally-approved IPAM solution.
