## About Cisco Configuration Engine
The Cisco Configuration Engine is a highly secure, scalable and reliable network management software solution that runs on RHAT Linux, Solaris, or VMware. By taking advantage of intelligent agents inside Cisco IOS Software, the Configuration Engine helps to enable the "call-home" architecture. With this architecture, a new device, with minimal and identical bootstrap configuration, can identify the location of the Configuration Engine. It can also automatically connect with it, and ask for the correct configuration.
