Network management software

  • Hi everyone,

    I know this thread has nothing to do with SQL Server, but since I'm used to use this site (I was a DBA who just became information system manager), I'll ask the question here.

    I'm looking for a software that manage IT assets. Primarily, I want a software that can detect hardware and software on computer over network. If there is more options, like internet meetering, that just better. I've got 70-80 computer on my network, and I plan to have more than 100 in about a year.

    Is anyone using a good software right now or knows a good one? I'm currently testing NetSupport DNA which has some good features.

    Thanks for your inputs,

    Erik

  • HP has Network Node Manager, although it may not be available separately from OpenView (which is probably overkill for 100 computers).

    There are a number of under-$500 products for small networks, probably even some shareware.  Google is your friend 😉

     

  • What about Microsoft MOM?

  • SMS & MOM each have thier limitations. Here's a cheap (less than $700) product we are workig with in addition to SMS and MOM - AuditWizard. It did a total discovery of about 1200 PC's and 150 servers in less than 15 minutes !
