Codima Inc. Launches new additions to its flagship IT Asset tool autoMap
July 2008 by Marc Jacob
Codima, Inc. a provider of best practice software tools for VoIP and IT Asset Management announced the introduction of new additions to its flagship IT Asset tool autoMap™. The enhanced Network Inventory and Visualization solution encompasses VLAN discovery with ease and speed, extended support to over 4,500 device types and robust IT network discovery.
Automated IT network discovery seeks to radically improve cost efficiency, eliminate time-consuming manual tasks and increase accuracy. The new enhanced autoMap™ version introducing IT Network Discovery allows IT managers to clearly identify IT assets and to discover VLAN’s with speed and ease. These enhancements create a powerful tool for baselining business critical enterprise IT networks, performing network auditing and ensure compliance with corporate governance.
Codima Discovery Engine™ conducts the discovery process, detecting unmanaged and managed devices on any IT network. The comprehensive discovery process supports over 4,500 devices types and supplies extensive information on what IT Assets are installed in any IT infrastructure. A true time saver, the automated discovery provides an accurate inventory simplifying budgeting and network auditing.
Leveraging the unique ability to visualize any IT network directly with Microsoft® Office Visio®, autoMap™ creates network topology drawings and VoIP topology views that can be displayed on a webpage and shared between colleagues. The visual overview gives a broader user base within an organization access to IT Asset information and makes complex information easy to present to others facilitating IT planning and decision making.
autoMap™ also runs discoveries across multiple IT networks from one single point. The Multi Site Scheduler has proven to be a useful function for NOCs (Network Operations Centers) and MSP (Managed Service Providers) who need to provide network topology maps and asset reports that their clients can access from a web server.
