passwords
Automatic logout on inactivity
Easy search features
Securely copy passwords to clipboard without displaying them
AES 256-bit encryption for both storage and backup
Complete role-based access
controls
Integrate with CyberArk and Microsoft LAPS to drive discovery with remote credential stores.

02. Storage Discovery

It can be a challenge to reliably and accurately report on enterprise storage consumption,report on enterprise storage consumption, performance, and configuration across multiple vendors. Storage Discovery by Device42 provides agentless, vendor-agnostic visibility across popular storage vendors such as EMC, NetApp, Pure Storage, Hitachi, IBM, and more. It collects and normalizes enterprise storage metrics on performance, configuration, and capacity data from storage arrays, servers, and switches from physical spindles to file systems in virtual machines.physical spindles to file systems in virtual machines.

KEY FUNCTIONALITY:

Get insight across complex, multiple storage environments to optimize capacity, improve efficiency, troubleshoot storage issues, and identify storage trends.
Drill down into storage arrays in your enterprise for status, capacity, uptime and
provisioning level information.
Get a visual overview of your storage array framework that features resource maps.
Deliver the reports you need for deep analysis of your storage requirements.

03. Software Discovery & License Management

While understanding what assets are deployed across the data center infrastructure is a critical component, it’s also important for organizations to create and maintain a comprehensive, accurate profile of the software deployed on machines across the entire IT infrastructure. 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 estate—from the server to the desktop level.

KEY FUNCTIONALITY:

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

04. Application Dependency Mapping

Application Dependency Mapping (ADM) capabilities enable Device42 to auto-discover application dependencies and service dependencies on a deeper level across your entire network. ADM will identify groups of services that contribute
to a known application. These services are then grouped and the communication between these applications, other services, and the underlying infrastructure is automatically mapped. ADM also gathers additional details as well, including config file data.

ADM is useful in a broad range of scenarios. You can inform migration and transformation projects with detailed dependency information. Downstream impacts from incidents inform lifecycle operations ITSM and DevOps.

KEY FUNCTIONALITY:

Agentless services and application discovery using native protocols with optional agents are available.
Application dependency diagrams visualize application to device relationships. Map applications to servers, servers to switch ports, and users to devices and applications
Use Application Impact Lists to reduce risk and potential downtime during cutovers, upgrades, and migrations by understanding application interdependencies and connections.
Automatically discover application components for applications such as Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB,
IIS etc. including their respective software version information, processes, and executables.
ADM offers detailed configuration discovery. View discovered configuration details for major applications like Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, ColdFusion, IIS, Apache, and more.

05. Resource Utilization & Cloud Recommendation Engine

Resource Utilization gathers statistics on a machine’s disk, network I/O, CPU and memory utilization over time. That data can then be used by Device42’s Cloud Recommendation Engine to provide the exact details you need to plan your next cloud migration. It compares costs between different cloud service providers (CSPs) to right-size your next cloud deployment.

KEY FUNCTIONALITY:

See up-to-date utilization data (disk, network I/O, CPU and memory) across your IT infrastructure.
Get clear recommendations for sizing or right sizing existing workloads for AWS, Azure, Google (GCP), Oracle, and VMWare Cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This includes a user- configurable safety factor slider that allows padding of requirement calculations by your chosen margin.
Use Device42 Business Applications to plan migration move groups.
