Which One Do I Need?

Posted by Trevor Smith on March 07, 2010

The fully licensed versions of these applications, will scan any number of nodes; but obviously the greater the number of nodes (the larger the network) the more resources are required and that requires more powerful hardware.  Also, the applications perform three tasks simultaneously ie they scan, present data and provide progress information.  The latter requires constant GUI updates, without which the app would appear erratic and this requires resources that the scanning engine would otherwise use.  In order to achieve this we have limited these applications to 20% of the scanning engine's optimal performance. which we believe is still faster than our competitors, try them, see what you think.   
 
We Have a Two Tier Solution
  1. For networks upto approx 1,500 nodes we have the desk top versions. These applications suit small to medium sized networks and companies engaged in the auditing of client sites, as the flexibility of running them from the web, regardless of location, is of great advantage.
  2. For larger networks, or to increase performance (due to low spec host for example), or to run on a dedicated server we have the ScanITnanoBot which functions in conjunction with the bv applications but automatically takes over the scanning tasks and runs as a Windows Service and as such does not provide progress feedback as it is transparent. As a consquence of not requiring GUI refreshes it can run at the full capacity of the scanning engine and is 5 times faster. nanoBot can be added to the solution at any time as it will simply take over scanning once added therefore expansion can be evolutionary
What Do You Want To Do? 
 
I want to
  1. know which nodes (IP Addresses, inc hostname and MAC address) are active on my network 
  2. be informed of unauthorised connections to my network
  3. know when a computer or computers become inaccessible 
  4. know when servers go down
  5. get a printed list or export to spreadsheet
       Solution: ScanIT Discovery  
 
  1. know how many laptops/static computers I have on my network.
  2. know how many workstations/servers I have on my network.
  3. know how many NT/XP/VISTA/7 OS I have on my network.
  4. know how many PDC/Member Servers/Workstations I have on my network.
  5. know how many processor types I have on my network.
  6. know the number of processors in computers I have on my network.
  7. know how many computer manufacturer types I have on my network.
  8. know when computers were built (had the Operating System installed) 
  9. know about BIOS versions/ motherboard versions and more about the computers I have on my network.
  10. know how many boxes we have/our service provider has, built/migrated/rolled out
  11. be informed when computer's spec changes.
  12. get a printed list or export to spreadsheet
        Solution: ScanIT Systems  
  1. know how many drives are reaching full capacity on my network.
  2. know what drives on my network are the most actve.
  3. know how many/what drives on my network are most likely to fail.
  4. know where CD ROMS are on my network.
  5. know where USB drives (memory sticks) are on my network.
  6. know who is using portable drives USB, CDROM on my network.
  7. be notified when unauthorised drives appear on the network
  8. be notified when specified tolerances/capacities are met
  9. get a printed list or export to spreadsheet
        Solution: ScanIT Drive
 
  1. find files on every drive (inc portables) on every computer
  2. find duplicate files on every computer
  3. view files that are on any computer
  4. open zip files that are on any computer
  5. install applications that are on any computer
  6. delete every instance of a file across the entire network
  7. delete all empty files across the entire network
  8. delete duplicate files networkwide
  9. move/copy files by type/name size in bulk regardless of source location
  10. know what users have which files
  11. get a printed list or export to spread sheet
        Solution : ScanIT File
 
  1. know what software is installed on each computer
  2. how many instances of any given software we have
  3. what vendors (manufacturers) do we have software from
  4. how much software do we have from xyz vendor
  5. which computers have xyz software installed
  6. what users have xyz software on their computer
  7. what computers has a user used that has xyz software installed
  8. who was using the computer when xyz software was installed
  9. get a printed list or export to spreadsheet
        Solution : ScanIT Software
 
  1. record software purchases
  2. record software licenses
  3. see how much we owe xyz vendor in under licensing
  4. see how much we are wasting in over licensing
  5. be notified when we exceed our licenses
  6. store copies of our licenses
        Solution : ScanIT License Manager
