Management Discovery Audit Unix
Asset Configuration
Management Discovery Audit Unix is a huge prospect in the Unix
environment like many others. Managing and tracking a company’s IT
assets, whether it has 10 or 100,000 computers deployed, can be a
daunting prospect. We need products that assist IT managers with
this task, helping them monitor their assets more easily and more
completely.
Asset Configuration
Management Discovery Audit Unix – integrated
tool
Look for an integrated
software tool that discovers and inventories the software and
hardware assets throughout a corporate network, regardless of its
size or topography.

Management Discovery Audit Unix – accuracy
Half the information
is often half the problem. Knowing generally what is in a network
doesn’t answer many of the hard questions. What if you had to
immediately know:
- Which specific
systems need to be replaced for us to upgrade to the newest OS?
- What individual
systems are running outdated releases of our anti-virus software
and are infecting other systems in the network?
- Which computers are
running software we have no record of licensing?
- What percentage of
the applications that you purchase are actually in use?

Management Discovery Audit Unix – scope
In order to know what
is on your network, you need to discover and inventory each and
every desktop, laptop and server in the system. That means that your
asset management system needs to cover the entire enterprise
network, not just one building or campus or country.
If you were to design
a discovery system you would probably want the system to dynamically
expand or contract with the size of your enterprise, and not have
any artificial limits on size.
Ideally, the system
would operate from a single server at a location of your choice, and
the discovery software would be distributed to every computer you
own from that server. It goes without saying that the discovery
system would run across any network configuration and would discover
any kind of computer and OS. Finally, you’d want to be able to
accomplish all of this with the same staff you have today.
