Does Solarwinds push any info out to Devices?

I know Solarwinds constantly pulls info but does it push any info out on a regular basis or at all?  I know you can push out configurations manually via NCM.  If Solarwinds does push out, what exactly does it push out and how often?  Hopefully this isn't confusing.  I'm trying to switch over to NPM 12.2 from my 12.1 where both are on VMs.  All my devices have the 12.1 server's IP address in their ACLs and I'm about to switch over that IP address to the 12.2 server and give the 12.1 server a different one.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Customer service assisted me with this and this is what they stated:

"Network Configuration Manager and VoIP & Network Quality Manager can both push configurations to monitored devices. Beyond this, the Orion platform can push agents to servers and workstations in your environment. Updates and plugins can be pushed to deployed agents in your environment, and changes regarding what to collect from agent monitored devices will be pushed. To the best of my knowledge, these are the only situations in which data is pushed from the Orion platform. There will be pings, WMI queries, and SNMP GET traffic at regular intervals. INSERT and SELECT queries will be sent to the SQL server almost continually. If you have actions configured to send emails, send SMS messages, or send syslogs / traps / etc to other services then you will see additional outbound traffic."
