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

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

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.

CMDB

Device42’s CMDB provides a single source of truth within your organization. This gives you a clear view into your IT ecosystem to identify, manage, and verify all configuration items (CI) in your environment.

  • Data Standardization and Enrichment - Your IT organization’s heartbeat lies in the CMDB, where the integrity and accuracy of your data is paramount. Yet, sourcing data solely from your infrastructure misses crucial insights provided by vendors and other trusted sources. Device42 EnrichAI uses artificial intelligence (AI) to consolidate, standardize, and enhance discovered configuration item (CI) data. By tackling the challenges of inconsistent and incomplete CI data, EnrichAI offers actionable insights that empower you to improve IT operations management.
  • Pre-configured CMDB - No need for a long, drawn-out CI design process because all your CI’s and relationships are pre-configured. But Device42 does not simply lock you into an inflexible structure. You can create your own CIs and relationships to complement the built-in structure provided. Additionally, you can define user, groups, passwords, and object-level permissioning.
  • Visualizations - Once your data is loaded, it’s time to reap the benefits. Device42 offers an extensive and highly-customizable set of reports and inquiry screens to access your CI data. But even better, provides an extensive set of visualizations including:
    – Your computer rooms and racks with power and capacity heat maps
    – Your full IP connectivity and power chain
    – Your hardware, software, and application dependencies
