1. A method of managing configuration data for managed network devices, the method comprising:
generating, by an intermediary server device, a plurality of slices from a configuration database, each of the plurality of slices representing configuration data for a managed network device for a period of time from a controller device, the intermediary server device being separate from the controller device and communicatively coupled to the controller device via a network;
storing, by the intermediary server device, the configuration data to a configuration database system via the network, wherein the network communicatively couples the intermediary server device to the configuration database system; and
sending, by the intermediary server device, the configuration data of one of the plurality of slices to the managed network device via the network.
