Ivanti Data Center Discovery

Server infrastructure inventory solution. Takes Software Asset Management (SAM) into the data center.

Ivanti Data Center Discovery takes Software Asset Management (SAM) into the data center. It sees through layers of virtualization and clustering, enabling you to reconcile properly and optimize your software spend. The solution automates data center discovery, reducing the risk of human error inherent in using manual scripts. Now you can optimize your software license position and ensure you stay up to date for ongoing compliance.

The advantages for Ivanti Data Center Discovery:

Increasingly complex data center environments compound your spending on software assets. But limited visibility into those assets could expose your most valued business-critical applications to significant risk/cost. Ivanti Data Center Discovery automates the discovery of on premise hybrid cloud virtualization environments, including VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle VM, and IBM Power Virtualization.

The solution captures a wide range of data, including edition, version, service pack, and build number. It also aggregates insight on installed software, running processes, services running, and user configuration. Now you can realize a genuine, focused discovery of your software assets.

Ivanti Data Center Discovery helps you uncover high-value infrastructure software assets from vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM. Save time and simplify with an automated process for generating your Oracle Server Worksheet. Data Center Discovery technology performs deep scans of Microsoft products agentlessly, including SQL server instances, Active Directory, and Sharepoint Servers. The solution also scans for IBM products like DB2, DataStage, and Websphere, among others, without having an impact on network performance or overhead.

Gain a deep understanding of your assets, and achieve insight for relationships between applications, databases, virtualization, clusters, and storage. The solution helps you understand the relationship between processes running on servers, and processes using ports. This understanding ultimately helps you identify where problems among your assets are generated from, reducing fix and recovery times. Data Center Discovery also includes cause and effect analysis. This means that any change-impact analysis conducted before implementation can remediate negative impacts prior to rollout.

Approximately 50% of organizations have 12 or more discovery and/or inventory tools, and 11% have more than 30 tools. Reduce the number of tools required to serve multiple-data use cases and vendors with an integrated discovery solution supporting all the different ways software is installed and used.

Ivanti Data Center Discovery helps you perform discovery with little effort, even in large multi-site data centers with agentless scans across Linux, Unix, and Windows servers. Automate the discovery of license versions and editions, as well as installations and usage. Data Center Discovery technology reduces performance impact on your environment with no need to install additional agents.

Have verifiably accurate and up-to-date discovery data available at your fingertips. Stop guessing at what assets are in your environment and take a proactive approach to your software asset management. Easily mitigate the risk of vendor audits that often end in huge penalties, sometimes draining millions from IT budgets and damaging reputations.
