 # GenieACS
 
-GenieACS is a *blazing fast* TR-069 auto configuration server (ACS) built with Node.js, Redis, and MongoDB. It's technology neutral and configurable to fit any service provider needs. This is the core back end component. Official front end GUI is available at https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs-gui.

 ## Features
 
-* **Massively concurrent**: Can handle hundreds of thousands of connected devices on a single server even with low inform interval.
+- **Battle-tested at scale**: Can scale to manage hundreds of thousands and
-* **Preset-based configuration**: Define sets of configurations that devices will pick up and apply as needed based on given preconditions.
+potentially millions of devices
-* **Tagging**: Use tags to group devices for more manageable presets.
+- **Powerful provisioning system**: Scriptable configuration to handle complex
-* **Searching**: Query for devices on any parameter (supports all common operators including regular expressions).
+device provisioning scenarios and other automated operations such as firmware
-* **Parameter aliasing**: Define aliases to unify parameter paths from different types of devices. Aliases behave like normal parameters (i.e. can be queried or modified).
+upgrade
-* **Extensive API**: A simple yet rich HTTP-based API allows easy integration with other system.
