Asset Management
You can’t manage what you can’t see or don’t know about
Whether your biggest challenge is to control VM sprawl or unmanaged and unpatched systems or paying software license fees for applications that go unused, the first step begins with some variant of “accurately and thoroughly discover and track your assets.” The fact is, you can’t manage what you can’t see and with today’s rapidly-changing and mobile workforce, those blind spots are not just dangerous, they’re expensive.

Leverages Unique Agentless Technology to Eliminate Blind Spots
Shavlik’s Asset Management leverages our innovative Agentless technology to thoroughly and dynamically discover and catalog all the assets that IT must manage.

- Discover software applications on your network that you don’t know were installed
- Control VM Sprawl
- Prove software license compliance
- Bring all software applications into patch compliance

- Reconcile virtual machines and the resources they consume on their ESX hosts
- Save money during contract negotiations, vendor audits and IT budget planning
- Support IT decision making and resource allocation through better visibility of assets
