Micetro by Men&Mice 10.4 (Akamai)
Welcome to Micetro by Men&Mice, a backend-agnostic DDI orchestration software for complex enterprise network environments.
Deployed in any on-premise, hybrid, or multicloud network environment, Micetro acts as a non-disruptive overlay that unifies server management under a single GUI and API. Micetro is a modular, software-defined DDI solution built around a number of components, and accessed through a unified user interface and API.
This documentation is divided into four parts:
Use the Implementation Guide to familiarize yourself with Micetro’s architecture and installation procedures for components on different platforms. The User Manual covers all of Micetro’s functionality. Admin Guide is aimed at system administrators managing Micetro.
Tip
Use the search function for quickly locating the information required.
