High-tech businesses can’t waste time ‘searching’ for asset details

Today’s business is unquestionably fast-moving. Both customers and internal employees live in a high-tech world, and desire, in one form or another, the same high-quality, instantly satisfying and low-cost user-experiences we have become accustomed to everywhere in our lives. This seemingly insatiable demand has led businesses of all shapes and sizes to increasingly become more and more tech-oriented, no matter what their core business focus. In an effort to stay competitive while delivering  the ‘holy grail’ interaction experience (high quality, reliability, and low-cost) that the market can’t get enough of, businesses are increasingly turning to technology as their go-to “weapon of choice”.

With business constantly turning to tech, even business that thought they could keep their distance from tech have become tech-oriented (everything from auctions with eBay to taxicabs with Lyft), and are amassing quite the formidable technical portfolio. As this tech growth trend continues, these and other enterprises are faced with a mounting challenge: now that tech is part of their business, they also must stay competitive there, and at the same time they attempt to maintain up-to-date inventories of their physical, virtual, and cloud servers. The ever growing popularity of cloud-based infrastructure and it’s minimal barriers-to-entry vs. physical infrastructure combined with containerization and software-defined everything makes it the solution of choice, and further fuels the ongoing explosion in the number of of assets an IT organization must stay on top of.

By the time the latest IPAM.XLS spreadsheet can be tracked down, it’s already outdated. Visio diagrams look good, but they only made sense when server instances had lifespans of years. Now that creating a visio representation of network takes more time than the average network stays looking the same, the solution simply doesn’t scale.

Enter Device42, the self-documenting DCIM platform with comprehensive auto-discovery, application dependency mapping, and so much more. Device42 will discover all of the hardware, software, and inter-dependencies across your deployment whether physical, virtual, or cloud, and once configured, does all this for you automatically, so you can focus on doing whatever it is that your business does best!
