Device42

Hybrid IT discovery & dependency mapping

Infrastructure & Network Discovery

We are the most trusted and advanced agentless full-stack Hybrid IT discovery and dependency mapping solution. You get access to information that perfectly mirrors the reality of what is in your environment. As a result, you become more efficient in your day-to-day tasks, are able to achieve more, and solve problems faster and better.

Device discovery tool with SNMP network discovery

  • Device42 enables SNMP discovery for network devices and more. SNMP discovery provides comprehensive capabilities to identify and track physical and logical components, their relationships, and their inter-dependencies.

Load balancer discovery

  • Combining SNMP with native APIs, Device42 connects to your load balancer and does the following:
  • Discovers basic inventory info such as hardware model, serial number, hostname, OS details, and more!
  • Discovers virtual servers, pools, and member nodes.
  • Maps the discovered member nodes with auto-discovered devices using other auto-discovery methods.
  • Automatically creates detailed dependency maps for virtual servers.

Hypervisors and virtual machines discovery

  • Device42 connects to your hypervisors and automatically gathers host and VM details. Scheduled discoveries ensure your VM documentation stays up-to-date as VMs migrate between hosts.

Cisco UCS Manager auto-discovery

  • Device42 connects natively with Cisco UCS Manager to automatically populate chassis, blades, and service profile information. This enables powerful search within Device42 and automatic service profile to blade device correlations.

Agentless auto-discovery

  • Windows - No need to install agents on your Windows machines to keep your inventory information up-to-date!
  • Linux - Similar to Windows auto-discovery, you can also discover Unix and Linux platforms including Solaris, AIX, Redhat/CentOS, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, BSD, and more!

Application Dependency Mapping (ADM)

Dependency and impact visuals are auto-generated from user-defined Application components from the bottom up. Visualize your inter-dependency details right down to load balanced services. Device42’s Netflow collector is a powerful tool that adds another viewpoint for a deeper level of detail to dependency auto-discovery information from your environment.

Discover

  • Agentless services and application discovery using native protocols
  • Agent-based discovery available for sensitive and/or often disconnected devices
  • See all deployed applications, manufacturer/owner, version number, and function
  • ‘Pin’ key services and Affinity Groups define move groups & calculate impact charts for each; See a visual grouping of communication patterns
  • List all services, running or not, users, protocols & ports
  • Granular software and service details include install location, date, registry information, permissions, and configuration files for each software component!
  • Application dependency diagrams visualize applications to devise relationships
  • Map applications to servers, servers to switch ports, and users to devices and applications
  • Enjoy comprehensive application dependency maps even for machines that can’t be directly accessed with Netflow data!
  • Discoveries are scheduled, with no agents to install on thousands of servers!

Storage Discovery

With Device42 Storage Discovery, you can be confident that you are seeing the most comprehensive discovery details of your storage footprint. Device42 Storage Discovery provides deep visibility of your storage environment and helps accurately pinpoint and predict bottlenecks in your Applications arising from Storage Infrastructure. Device42 Storage Discovery dynamically collects performance, configuration, and capacity data from storage arrays, servers, and switches based on IT policies and maps applications bottom-up from physical spindles to files systems in virtual machines. Not only do you see the end-to-end mapping of storage elements, but you can also see how storage is replicated. The built-in business-level reporting available gives users the ability to make informed capacity decisions based on the needs of their business.

  • Discover storage infrastructures such as EMC
  • Vplex/XtremIO/VMAX/VNX/RecoverPoint, NetApp, Pure Storage, Hitachi USP-V/VSP, IBM DS6000, and more
  • Discover fabrics/switches from Brocade, Cisco, and more
  • Easy to deploy
  • Built-in scalability
  • Built-in business-level reporting and analytics
  • Effective and secure communication to the cloud

Software License Management

Using Device42’s powerful agentless software discovery process, organizations can create and maintain a comprehensive, accurate profile of the software deployed on Windows and Linux machines across the entire IT infrastructure — from the server to the desktop level.

Features include:

  • Compare current usage to license counts
  • Detect prohibited software
  • Track license agreements and expiration dates
  • Identify purchased vs. installed software
  • Provide customizable notification alerts

License compliance

  • Identify over-licensed, unlicensed, and expired licenses.

Standards assurance

  • Identify prohibited and approved software.

Cost management

  • Report license costs and minimize under-licensed software.

Comprehensive licensing tracking

  • Device42’s license tracking models provide optimal flexibility in tracking software licenses – making accurate software auditing easier and faster.

User-defined alerts and notifications

  • Software license alerting and monitoring allows organizations to create set it, and forget it notifications that make ongoing network software management easy and effective.

IP Address Management(IPAM)

Device42’s IP Address Management (IPAM) capabilities provide an easy-to-use, intuitive console for centralized IP visibility and control including IP tracking, IP assignments, and many other IP management functions.

  • IPv4/IPv6 IP address management
  • Auto-discovery tools to keep IP records accurate and up-to-date
  • Overlapping IP ranges and nested subgroups management
  • Subnet tree view with nested subnets and IPs
  • Auto assignment of IPs to devices
  • Powerful APIs enable IP search, find, and integration with other tools
  • Graphic visualizations of network connectivity connections

Auto-assign IPs

  • Allow staff members to auto-assign available IPs to devices. Worrying about outdated IPAM.xlsx is now a thing of the past.

Visualize switch port relationships

  • Device42’s IP address manager builds graphic network visualizations of the switch port to switch port connections. Auto-generated diagrams are based on auto-discovered and manually entered network data. In addition, diagrams also depict virtual devices detected on switch ports.

DNS integration

  • Transfer zones and zone records automatically from DNS servers for easy search and up-to-date documentation and correlation to IP addresses.

SSL Certificate Management Made Easy with Device42

Managing complex IT infrastructures comes with a lot of little pain points: staying on top of certificate renewals and keeping the inventory of certificates up-to-date are two of them.

  • Get notified in advance before your certificates expire.
  • Visual heat maps show time to renewal at a glance.
  • Manage all the certificates in the chain.
  • Ensure FIPS-140-2 compliance with cipher suite audits and algorithm reporting.
  • Use custom fields for additional data storage.
  • Relate devices to certificates and know which devices need to be updated.
  • Track your purchase orders, costs, etc. around certificates.
  • Device42 includes a simple yet powerful certificate management tool that makes it easy:
  • Autodiscover certificates by IP range, in bulk, or from a URL.
  • Complete inventory of all your SSL certificates.
  • Securely store private keys with granular access control.
