segments to identify all assets including desktops,

notebooks, servers, routers, and printers, regardless of

how they are connected to the network.

regardless of operating system, network topology, or

connection type leveraging a comprehensive range of

agent deployment methods such as automatic delivery

optimized IP communication enables reliable audits to be

performed over highly utilized WANs or low bandwidth

connections.

• Complete discovery of all network devices across

multiple locations or operating systems, including

desktops, notebooks, servers, routers, and printers.

• Small client and delta-based reporting provides faster

analysis across different connections and enables

identification of hardware, without the need to push an

agent to every device.

• Drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to inventory

and track IT assets by geographical location and

functional grouping.

• Patented LANProbe identifies physical device locations

by interrogating all switching and routing devices on the

network, VLAN, and subnet environments.   

• Robust asset tracking allows for accurate inventory of

mobile computers and assets at remote sites.
