ACMP Inventory

For network-wide inventory, ACMP pushes or distributes a small software agent to each client. The client software maintains communication between the local computer and the ACMP server and delivers inventory data to the server at freely definable intervals and receives orders in the other direction. After just a few moments, over 150 pieces of hardware data and all details of the Windows installation are available on the server. When the client is installed or the OneScan client is run, several thousand pieces of data are read out, for example with the help of a Hyper-V scanner.

Administrators do not always want to permanently install a software agent. However, we have developed the OneScanClient to obtain all the important detailed information about a computer. This is started once, collects and transmits the information to the database and disappears from the hard drive again, except for an entry for repeated identification of the respective client.

The IT administrator will rarely be interested in all the detailed data. With just a few mouse clicks, the IT professional can ensure that ACMP only displays the precise results of the inventorised data. Using drag-and-drop, the administrator structures, groups or nests the desired results in real time.

The ACMP server monitors the network and recognises new devices automatically. This makes it easy to recognise and control shadow IT. In combination with ACMP Asset Management, you not only have an overview of all existing computers, but also monitors, printers and so on. This minimises sources of error due to unknown hardware.

ACMP uses the "Windows Management Instrumentation" (WMI) and "Simple Network Management Protocol" (SNMP) standards to obtain information. The connection between the agent and the database on the ACMP server is always established via a secure connection. Not every client has access to the database, but only the ACMP server. Control is always carried out via a modern and centralised console by the administrator.
