For organizations of any size, keeping and audit of IT assets across multiple locations is a major headache.  Thanks to its ability to collect audit information across LAN, WAN and Internet connections, Discovery is the natural choice for centralized tracking of IT assets across disperate offices.

Auditing via low-bandwidth connections

Even if a large number of employees are home-based, Discovery can still help organizations manage their assets effectively by continuing to collect and return data on hardware configuration, software installations and usage through a standard internet connection.

And what’s more, Discovery won’t clog up limited-bandwidth connections, with the average audit packet comprising no more than 4-5Kb.

Simple architecture – effective results

Simplicity is king when it comes to setting up an audit solution.  From a central server, FrontRange Discovery can typically audit as many as 40,000 devices across the network without any need for local staging servers.  This minimizes both the infrastructure costs and dramatically reduces the overall Total Cost of Ownership as less time is spent maintaining the different servers.

Auditing non-networked machines

Typically, every organization will have a small number of non-networked machines, which are still a vital part of the overall IT infrastructure.  FrontRange Discovery offers the ability to include these machines (and any software installed on them) in the asset repository thanks to a selection of offline audit options.
