Frequently as a network administrator you are asked to take an inventory
of all the systems in your network. This may include taking all
the hardware, software and communication equipment inventory for
your entire network You would be the first to agree that this is
not really and enjoyable task. However this is a mandatory task
for any system administrator and that too should be done periodically.
Netman tries to remove the drudgery of inventorying your LAN assets
by automatically identifying most of the hardware and software assets
in your network and provide you with an inventory report whenever
you want it. The hardware inventory is generated automatically by
querying the hardware on each of the node and building a database
of hardware inventory which can be viewed at any given time.
The hardware inventory includes the CPU id of the system, peripherals
connected to it, interface cards , the Operating system running
on the system, location Identifier ( manually entered), system name
(hardware inventory tag) , the current registered owner etc.
However there are assets in your system which might not be automatically
discovered. For the administrator , netman provides a mechanism
of manually entering these information so that they can also be
tracked easily with the help of netman interface.
Why don't you try out Netman and see how
it serves as an instant messenger besides providing countless functionality?
