What organization doesn’t want to save time and increase productivity? It’s important for businesses to stay in the know regarding their device inventory and help them by minimizing the time spent compiling and updating your device information.
Being able to view source to destination is key for organizations when choosing a network management solution, including:
- Routers
- Switches
- Firewalls
- Any other network devices in between
What is Device Inventory?
To put it simply, device inventory is a list of devices in an organization – anything connected to your network. What data or information you collect from these devices will depend on what you’re using to collect the inventory.
For IT departments, it’s beneficial to have an accurate device inventory. Keeping track can save time, money, and bandwidth. A network management solution can tell you which device is having an issue and why, to quickly address the issue.
