If
decisions on upgrades and the roll out of new
technology are to be taken from an informed
position, then information is key.
With this in mind, NetSupport DNA provides one
of the most comprehensive and detailed Hardware
Inventory modules available on the market today.
A wealth of
information for specific PCs is provided
ranging from CPU types and BIOS to memory
and memory slots used including those
available for future expansion.
Information is presented summarized by
category, such as PCs by Operating System,
CPU type or Memory.
Inventory reports are displayed either for
a single Client, Department, Dynamic Group
or for the Company overall.
Hardware Inventory frequency can be
configured to run at different time
intervals. Specific settings can be set
for the overall Company or for separate
departments. Furthermore, the DNA Operator
is able to run a quick Inventory outside
of the pre-selected settings whereby all
current hardware information from an
individual Client, Department or the
Company can be collected.
Whilst NetSupport DNA will dynamically
retrieve inventory information from those
PCs with a DNA Client installed, there
will be instances where peripheral
equipment, such as routers, will not be
identified or even in the case of remote
PCs unconnected to the network.
Ensuring the most accurate
information is always available, DNA provides the option
to add details of "non-scanned" items
manually.
NetSupport DNA offers multi-platform support. With the
latest version, together with full support for Windows
98 and above, Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE 9 and
Fedora Core 6 Linux distributions are supported.
"NetSupport
DNA2 is an excellent system management tool
whose manufacturers are clearly listening to
their users, since the new additions in version
2 all strike us as the typical kind of feedback
you get from real world users. It's simple to
use, the client agent doesn't seem to unduly
hammer the host PC, and for a multi-faceted
package the price tag is attractive too."
