Feature Highlights

Gain a comprehensive view of your IT landscape

Today, large organizations often have geographically distributed offices, some of them have very limited network access for logistical and security reasons.

Also the rights of works councils or data protection rules usually do not make data collection on software installations and license certificates any easier.

All these factors make it difficult for a company to provide a comprehensive license balance of all installed software applications. However, this is unavoidable if, for example, a SAM project is to be started or if a license audit is due. Especially under time pressure, many companies relapse into the manual execution of device scans, which often results in high costs and time expenditure.

Smart Hardware and Software Inventory

The inventory solution RayVentory provides a comprehensive hardware and software scan in your network through the use of agents or the “Zero Touch Technology”, so that the acquisition and collection of inventory data can take place quickly and reliably.

In addition, Raynet helps to overcome barriers and possible limits set by legal regulations, for example, as the user can take the initiative for the collection of his data.

Core Functionalities

Feature Highlights

Various scanning methods for data collection

Zero Touch

The central RayVentory server connects to the target system and queries it. The data is collected and stored directly on the central server in a .ndi file.

Remote

The scan is started from a central server. The server connects to the target system and temporarily copies the scanner on it. The collected data is then stored in a .ndi file on the target system and uploaded to the central server. The scanner will then be uninstalled on the target system.

Agent-based

The agent (scanner) is installed on the target system and runs according to a schedule. The agent then uploads a .ndi file to the central server.

Portable

The scanner can be run from any location (intranet, USB stick, …). The collected data is stored in a .ndi file on the target system and can optionally be uploaded to the central server.
