Network inventory is a third party service that keeps a record of all the relevant data on hardware and software devices of your system. The network inventory application was first developed by ClearApps LLC, Elk Grove California. Network inventory also has a report creation wizard, that enables it to create reports based on the results obtained from the hardware and software management. Network Inventory has two divisions- the software inventory and the hardware inventory respectively. We shall discuss about these two inventories, but before that, let’s know about its software support and compatibility. It’s supported by Windows OS, Mac OS X, Linux, etc. It boosts an easily available software license audit.
Network Inventory Advisor has three main significant features: these are network software inventory, hardware inventory and license compliance audit. With the combined efforts of these two features, a user can keep track of any software installation, version and licenses of a particular software and services. It also aids unique license aggregation, collection and management of those licenses for a plethora of software products. For hardware inventory, the software will manage the same way as for software inventory, but the target items will be different. It will scan and keep a record on the CPU, the internal or on-board storage, different audio, video peripherals and other important hardware peripherals, etc.
