Centennial IT Asset Discovery

No other solution can match the breadth and depth of automatic asset identification and tracking offered by Centennial Discovery 2007. Thanks to its 100% network visibility, Centennial Discovery 2007 makes sure that you have the latest information on the configuration, usage and physical location of all your hardware and software.

Centennial Hardware inventory management

In addition to PCs, Centennial Discovery 2007’s patent-pending LANProbe technology tracks every IP device on the network including printers, routers, servers and firewalls. And it’s not just the local network that’s covered; Centennial Discovery will find all devices connected to the corporate-wide network, whether by LAN, WAN or even internet dial-up accounts.

By continually monitoring the network, Centennial Discovery can alert administrators to changes such as memory being removed from a PC, or a device being moved from one location to another. Centennial will also automatically recognize a new device being added to the network and can even identify if a particular PC hasn’t returned an audit for a period of time.

Centennial Discovery identifies and tracks hardware by:

• Machine Name

• Manufacturer

• Serial Number

• BIOS Date

• Processor Memory Hard Disk Size / Space

• Installed Adapters

• Network Information

• Physical Location

Centennial Software Auditing

Centennial Discovery enables managers to automatically locate and account for all software throughout the organization – dramatically reducing the management time required to assess and prove license compliance.

By tracking software usage, Centennial Discovery can help managers decide when to remove redundant software, when to re-deploy applications and even whether or not to renew maintenance contracts.

Centennial Discovery can also alert administrators to the presence of unauthorized software on individual machines, helping secure the integrity of the network and reduce the legal exposure of the organization.

Centennial Discovery helps administrators identify where specific instances of an application require a security upgrade to combat a specific vulnerability – cutting down the time taken to react to threats.

Centennial Discovery tracks software by:

• Vendor

• Software Name

• Version / Patch

• Last Used / Frequency of Use

• Physical Location

• Licensable / Un-licensable

• Product Type/Category

Physical Location Tracking

Auditing PCs and other hardware devices for type and configuration is critical to successful IT management, but so too is knowing where assets are located in the organization.

Centennial Discovery is the only IT inventory solution which allows managers to track the physical location of assets across the organization without the need for costly and time-consuming walk round audits.

Once automatically discovered and then mapped to a physical location, each device is monitored by Centennial Discovery, which can automatically alert administrators if a machine is repositioned or even removed from the network. An audit trail keeps track of current and previous locations, together with the length of time a device resided in each place.

For managers that want to return PCs at the end of their lease, locate the laser printer acquired without a purchase order, or simply know where to send engineers to perform a memory upgrade, Centennial Discovery provides the fastest way to locate all hardware across the organization.
