Knowledge Cloud is a centralized resource base housing various types of regular/customized NetworkBrain resources. NetworkBrain IE system can download any NetworkBrain resources (that apply to your specific IE version) from Knowledge Cloud constantly. These resources, once downloaded, will be deployed automatically in your IE system.

There are three ways to perform a resource update in your IE system.

▪Auto-update Resources (Recommended) — the system will fetch the latest resources from Knowledge Cloud constantly (twice per day between 12AM and 3AM, 12 PM and 3 PM at local time zone) in a fully automatic manner. See Auto-updating Resources for more details.

▪Manually Trigger Resource Update — manually initiate the auto-updating process and apply the latest resources (if any) immediately to the system. See Manually Triggering Resource Update for more details.

▪Manually Import Resources — manually upload the latest resource package into the system when your servers are not allowed to access the Internet. See Manually Importing Resources for more details.
