Without effective asset management,
the costs for supporting the IT infrastructure can often
spiral out of control especially when factoring in the
cost of non-compliance.
With NetSupport DNA, organizations can reduce the legal
risks by maintaining compliance with software licence
agreements, improve the accuracy of budget forecasting
by removing over spend on software assets and ensure the
IT function is supporting the overall organizational objectives.
Featuring a detailed summary of all applications detected
on a target PC, NetSupport DNA displays this information
(with supporting application icon) either on a PC by PC
basis or as a group where overall totals (with drill down
functionality) for each application are shown.
Recognizing that often, there are many different versions
of a common application in use, DNA provides the ability
to create customized Application Groups, where all such
versions are grouped together for more effective reporting.
Application Groups also offer the ability to monitor license
levels within an organization. By inputting the number
of licenses for each application, software usage levels
can be identified whenever a software inventory is executed.
As well as appearing within the Software Inventory listings,
this license information can also be displayed within
the DNA Application Metering section.
Inventory reports are displayed either for a single Client,
Department, Dynamic Group or for the overall Company.
NetSupport DNA offers multi-platform support. With the
latest version, together with full support for Windows
98 and above, Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE 9 and
Fedora Core 6 Linux distributions are supported.
Software Inventory frequency can be configured to run
at different time intervals. Specific settings can be
set for the overall Company or for separate departments.
NetSupport DNA also provides a File Scan option whereby
files of certain types can be identified eg. "MP3
files of a certain size.
