» Asset Discovery
Asset Discovery is the ability to automatically discover Internet Protocol (IP)-based network devices. This feature allows for faster and more accurate inventory management of IT assets. The result is vast improvement over physical inventory management and the enablement of greater strategic decision making about IT needs. IT staffs no longer need to physically be at every laptop or desktop.
Highlights
- Remotely access devices in the network.
- Collect relevant device data including device type (e.g., workstation, printer, router, etc.),
IP address, MAC address, Windows user name, domain name, and more.
- Allow for the flexible scheduling of discovery scans including onetime, weekly, and monthly
and will work across multiple networks.
- Perform open-port identification of scanned devices.
» Asset Management
Asset Management provides your organization the ability to track and manage hardware and software assets in distributed environments that have many devices and users. The benefits are many from a operational management point of view, such as: providing greater insight into asset distribution and usage, helps support regulatory compliance and reporting, and ensure compliance with software licensing agreements and eliminate unauthorized software installs.
Highlights
- Automate the discovery and tracking of all installed software and hardware.
- Facilitate the discovery of unauthorized installed software much like a Business Software Alliance (BSA) audit.
- Identify whether in-use software exceeds licensed quantities.
- Enable the discovery and reallocation of unused software titles.
- Track asset-level financial information including purchase cost, vendor details, warranty information, and lease information.
» Software Distribution
Software Distribution capabilities allow an organization to install software according to standard software profiles; simplifies the deployment of new software and reduces the time required to roll out applications, resulting in greater end-user productivity and best practice compliance with software licensing agreements.
Highlights
- Automate Windows software distribution and upgrades to Windows-based machines, including Microsoft Installer (MSI) files and custom executables.
- Manage distribution scheduling, utilize sign-posting messages for the end-user, allow checkpoint restart, and deliver all packages using 128-bit SSL encryption.
- Enable a customer defined published software library (imaging) delivered via a self-service end-user portal. This portal includes software request forms and built-in request approval processes.
