Inventory with RayVentory

The IT landscape is constantly changing. Therefore, it is not easy to recognize which software applications have been installed and which license rights exist for them. Nevertheless, the inventory of all software assets is an absolutely necessary task to be protected from audits or to prepare migrations. Today, large organizations often have geographically dispersed offices, some of which have very limited network access due to logistical and security reasons. Also the rights of works councils or data protection rules do not make the collection of data about 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 effort.

Scanning Infrastructure

RayVentory provides intelligent scanning and data collection of physical and virtual devices at low cost, followed by comprehensive reporting on hardware, software, VMware, Hyper-V and Oracle database servers.

RayVentory also helps to overcome barriers and possible limitations imposed by regulatory requirements, for example, by allowing users to take the initiative to collect their own data.

Scanning Methods

Zero Touch Technology

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.

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.

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.
