Software Audit

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 vulnerabilities.

It tracks software by:

• Vendor
• Software name
• Version / Patch
• Last used / Frequency of use
• Physical location (on a PC/Server or via a terminal server session)
• Licensable/unlicensable software
• Product type
  
  
  

Hardware Audit

Centennial Discovery is the smart alternative to physically auditing IT assets. The solution automatically seeks out and monitors all hardware on the network, providing managers with an accurate view of machine type, serial number and configuration, as well as physical location.

In addition to PCs, Centennial’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.

It audits hardware by:

• Machine name
• Manufacturer
• Serial number
• BIOS date
• Processor
• Memory
• Hard disk size / space
• Installed adapters
• Network information
