DTIAS is designed to handle environments with large numbers of heterogenous servers. You don't need to be a TELCO to use it, but this is a core problem TELCOs face. DTIAS supports both HPE and Dell and has the ability to perform full lifecycle management of the servers. It has built in functionality to take a server from bare metal to with a few clicks standardized BIOS settings, up to date firmware, and a deployed and configured operating system.
This repository is dedicated to demonstrating the capabilities of Dell DTIAS. It has API usage examples which show off how to control DTIAS through the API and a blueprint repository with a host of useful, prebuilt, blueprints you can deploy.

- Note: DTIAS has recently merged with Cloudify. If you notice discrepancies in the API documentation feel free to open a ticket on this repository.
