IT Asset Management
Understanding the inventory of IT assets, especially in today’s distributed, heterogeneous environments is a challenging task. Management of large server estates challenges even the most adept IT organization.Key Challenges
How to manage ballooning server estates (physical and virtual) without sacrificing the detail and timeliness required to make effective decisions
How to intelligently reduce volumes of data to only that which requires management attention
How to quickly visualize infrastructure status and risk from the enterprise-wide, CIO level to that of the system manager
Key Solution Requirements
Effective asset management begins with comprehensive coverage of an organizations servers hardware and software. The key elements of this type of solution are as follows:

Capture not only hardware configuration data, but software installation, patch-level, licensing, and use data
Automate daily collection, analysis, and notification of asset changes
Incorporate extensive, easy-to-use ad hoc reporting features
