IT Inventory Management and Asset Tracking for Server Hardware and Software
Automate inventory management
Auto-discover assets and begin collecting IT inventory data immediately
The first step to gaining control of your IT inventory is establishing an up-to-date list of assets. Instead of manually keeping lists, using software to track your hardware and software inventory can be much more time-efficient and accurate than using spreadsheets.
The SolarWinds® Server Performance & Configuration Bundle (SPCB) combines the capabilities of Server & Application Monitor (SAM) and Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) to provide IT inventory management software that can automatically collect critical asset information—including system updates, server warranty information, hosted VM details, processors, memory, network interfaces, operating system and firmware updates, and more—into a single location.
Detect and track configuration changes with robust IT inventory management software
The only constant in your server and application configurations is change. Without a change monitoring tool, it can be difficult to know what changes took place, or what the changes entailed.
SolarWinds SPCB provides both IT inventory software and configuration monitoring features, helping you quickly see if hardware or software has been added, removed, or updated to a different version. Additionally, you can see what changes were made and easily compare the new configuration to previous configurations within a centralized dashboard.
Manage inventory lifecycles more effectively using an IT asset tracking tool
SPCB is designed to provide inventory management tools that allow you to track software assets (including version, installation or purchase date, and latest software updates) and your hardware details (including purchase date, usage, warranty expiration date, and location). This creates a wealth of actionable data to help you determine the ideal time to replace old or faulty hardware. These inventory tracking tools also incorporate vendor contracts, purchase orders, and expiration details, which can make it easier to know when to extend or renew a contract with your vendors or providers.
Generate preset and configurable reports using IT inventory tracker software
Monitoring and analysis tools are only as beneficial as their notification and reporting capabilities, which is why the IT inventory software tools available in the Server Performance & Configuration Bundle can allow you to quickly and accurately report on asset inventory by providing easy-to-understand charts and tables. Built-in report templates can also help show current asset usage along with model number, previous updates, names of admins who installed the updates, total resources used, unused hardware, and more. You can even select a specific server and generate reports on the software and hardware resources associated with it.
Leverage IT inventory software for deeper network insights and infrastructural understandings
The application and hardware tracking tools in SPCB include customizable maps designed to make it easier to view dependencies between network components, including cross-server traffic, and to organize assets by logical groups. These server inventory tools can help you more easily ensure business-critical hardware is properly managed and monitored. And when network performance problems come up, you can be prepared with hardware tracking tools and software inventory tools to help assist you in quickly identifying which components are causing the issue.
