autoAsset™

Unlike most other products in the market, autoAsset™ operates from the Layer2 devices out to the installed software on the edge device, which produces a highly accurate discovery of connected components. This approach is much more useful when making network design judgments and evaluating the impact of new converged applications - such as VoIP.

autoAsset™ provides the Installed Software Report to quickly establish if users have exceeded software license limits as well as reports to show information on the physical relationships between slots, ports, fans, power supplies etc in the Switch/Router chassis.

autoAsset™ reduces security risks and maintains a reliable asset schedule, previously not available without substantial investment in software, training and professional services.

autoAsset™, part of Codima Toolbox, is easy-to-use, cost efficient and highly visual.

autoAsset™ can be deployed as stand alone or with add on tools autoVoIP™, autoVoIP™ Consultancy Kit, autoMap™ and autoAnalyzer™ Consultancy Kit.

• Discovers and reports on any IP device from the widest range of suppliers such as Cisco and HP
• Measure the Discovery Rating of a network
     - validate that the network is managed in line with the approved design criteria

• Verify how many Microsoft Windows PCs need hardware or software upgrades for compliance control and security purposes
• Listing software and IP addresses
• Finding "lost" physical and logical assets
• Consolidate switch capacity - by checking how many ports are in use
• Manage security risks - by always being able to show all the devices connected to the network
• Export reports to other users / departments - thereby making sure that each cost centre is aware of their assets
• Shows information on the physical relationships between slots, ports, fans, power supplies etc in the Switch/Router chassis
• The Installed Software Report quickly establishes if software license limits are exceeded

• Get an accurate view of the deployed network infrastructure and workstations - as opposed to one shown on paper, manually created, based on incomplete or old information
• Improve network planning and efficiency by rapidly identifying the physical characteristics and location of network devices
• Ensure accurate IT budgeting by using real data for maintenance, budgeting/charging and ordering purposes, infrastructure maintenance costs represent around 10% of their purchase price
• Dramatically reduce operating costs - by automating the manual tasks of compiling and keeping up to date your register of network assets
• Control the annual maintenance fees - by using a truly precise inventory

• Over 4,500 device types are supported and the device list is constantly being updated
• For managed devices - discovery includes information obtained using:
• SNMP V1 and V2 (supports multiple SNMP Read Community strings)
• WMI for Microsoft Windows devices
• NetBIOS
• For unmanaged devices - discovery includes manufacturer, IP address and/or Mac address

• Codima Discovery Engine™ uses the following protocols in the discovery process:
• ICMP, SNMP, CDP, NetBIOS, and WMI
• Supports Multiple SNMP Read communities across the network
• Provides user control of discovery parameters:
• Allowed and Prohibited IP Address range can be configured
• Bandwidth limits can be set from 64Kbs to 640Kbs
• Provides for discovery across firewalls

• Windows XP, Server 2003 or Windows Vista with 2GHz CPU (minimum)
• 516Mb RAM (minimum)

• Adds Monitoring and Troubleshooting for VoIP networks with easy to use One-Click Management™

• Adds Monitoring, Displaying and Analyzing VoIP networks with Frame Flow analyzer and RTP analyzer and is available for laptop PC

• Adds automatically generating of Maps by using Microsoft® Office Visio®

• Adds Analyzing and Troubleshooting for any Infrastructure in Real time with Remote Management
