Network Inventory with JDisc Discovery

IT environments are constantly getting more complex. Missing or inaccurate network inventory data puts your projects at risk. This might even lead to wrong decisions threatening the ROI of your IT expenditures.

JDisc Discovery provides a detailed and current network inventory which helps you to run your IT more effectively. It's agent-less discovery technology minimizes the impact on your network and your devices. While a permanent license provides the most value for your IT. JDisc also offers short-term licenses at a very competitive price if you need accurate and detailed inventory information for only the duration of a project.

JDisc Discovery comes with two add-ons that extend its discovery capabilities:

1. JDisc Discovery - Networking Add-On
   The Networking Add-On adds the capability to detect your network topology and to archive configuration files from popular routers and switch models.
2. JDisc Discovery - Dependency Mapping Add-On
   The Dependency Mapping Add-On detects open TCP/IP ports and active TCP/IP connections allowing you to identify communication paths between elements within your network.

With its open database structures and its SQL query viewer, JDisc Discovery can easily be integrated into existing Asset Management and CMDB systems.

Broad in scope

	Identifies and collects detailed software and hardware information from all major operating systems (Windows NT 4.0 and above, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X)
	Identifies and collects basic information from several hundreds of SNMP devices
	Detects monitors attached to Windows computers
	Supports the Microsoft Active Directory environment

Extensible

	Can be extended by custom inventory scripts and binaries in order to collect additional infomation that is not collected out of the box
	Capability to add custom software inventory scripts in order to identify homegrown applications and software that does not use the platform's standard installation procedure

Accurate and Correct

	We normalize information. Applications names as well as hardware information is displayed in a normalized format
	Multicore processors appear as single physical processor having multiple cores instead of as multiple processors having a single core.

Non-Intrusive

	No proprietary agents required on scanned computers
	No root access needed for most Unix platforms (only Linux requires root login to access the system's BIOS in order to retrieve model, brand and serial number information)
	On Unix systems, system commands are executed and the command output is parsed on the computer running JDisc Discovery

Secure

	Discovered data and acces credentials are stored in a secured SQL database (Postgres)
	The setup program creates a read-only database user so other IT systems can access inventory data safely
	Access credentials are stored encrypted in JDisc's database using 128-bit AES encryption

	Broad in scope: Discovers virtually anything with an IP address including virtualized systems
	Complete: Collects detailed hardware and software information from all major operating systems
	Fast: Discovers networks quickly without the need to deploy agents
	Ready for the future: IPv6 is already designed into the product
	Affordable: It's short-term and subscription license make it affordable even if you need it for a short period
