Comprehensive Network Visibility for Small and Remote Networks
IT management is not limited to enterprises with large, complex networks. Regardless of its size or distribution, every network requires best IT management practices. Without basic network information, an enterprise is unable to manage and secure its IT environment, protect its organizational assets and support its business processes.
Comprehensive Visibility for Successful IT Management
Lite Collector provides companies with flat IT environments with complete network discovery capabilities. Lite Collector identifies a complete and accurate inventory all elements on a network, including all hosts, routers, switches, printers, wireless access points and VMWare elements. For each network element discovered, Lite Collector obtains a complete list of associated properties, including element type, operating system, hotfixes, running services and open services. Lite Collector allows IT professionals to locate devices of interest on graphical, interactive topology map of the entire network.
Supierior Discovery Technology
Lite Collector utilizes a unique combination of passive and active discovery techniques to build, monitor and track an entire inventory of IT assets in real-time and on an ongoing basis. This discovery method provides superior results than existing discovery tools, which require a lengthy and obtrusive scan that produces only a one-time snapshot of the network elements connected to the network.
Easy and Flexible Implementation
Lite Collector is designed for small networks with a single broadcast domain containing up to 2,000 devices. Enterprises can also utilize Lite Collector on remote networks at satellite offices. In such an implementation, the Lite Collector implemented on a remote network communicates with the Management Center installed on the central network.
Lite Collector installs in less than five minutes without the deployment of agents and provides complete infrastructure information within minutes. Lite Collector operates on a Windows-based desktop application (XP/2003). It does not pose any operational risk to an enterprise's production environment.
