Without
effective asset management, the costs for
supporting the IT infrastructure can often
spiral out of control especially when factoring
in the cost of non-compliance.
With NetSupport DNA, organizations can reduce
the legal risks by maintaining compliance with
software licence agreements, improve the
accuracy of budget forecasting by removing over
spend on software assets and ensure the IT
function is supporting the overall
organizational objectives.
Featuring a
detailed summary of all applications
detected on a target PC, NetSupport DNA
displays this information (with supporting
application icon) either on a PC by PC
basis or as a group where overall totals
(with drill down functionality) for each
application are shown.
Recognizing that often, there are many
different versions of a common application
in use, DNA provides the ability to create
customized Application Groups, where all
such versions are grouped together for
more effective reporting.
Application Groups also offer the ability
to monitor license levels within an
organization. By inputting the number of
licenses for each application, software
usage levels can be identified whenever a
software inventory is executed. As well as
appearing within the Software Inventory
listings, this license information can
also be displayed within the DNA
Application Metering section.
Inventory reports are displayed either for
a single Client, Department, Dynamic Group
or for the overall Company.
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.
Software Inventory frequency can be
configured to run at different time
intervals. Specific settings can be set
for the overall Company or for separate
departments.
NetSupport DNA also provides a File Scan
option whereby files of certain types can
be identified eg. "MP3 files of a
certain size.
