With organizations investing in virtualization technologies for both hardware and application provisioning, these virtual assets are now just as valuable as their physical counterparts.
FrontRange Discovery helps organizations manage their virtual IT assets to help avoid problems such server sprawl and software licensing issues.
Hardware Virtualization
FrontRange Discovery supports the four most common hardware virtualization technologies in use today:
- VMware ESX 3.5
- VMware Virtual Server 2.0
- Microsoft Hyper-V (Windows 2008)
For each of the above technologies, FrontRange Discovery will determine Guest/Host relationships and audit Physical CPU cores on host, CPU speed, physical memory on host, PCI devices, system model, BIOS, vendor ESX version & build number*.
FrontRange Discovery will audit Physical CPU cores on host, CPU speed, physical memory on host, PCI devices, system model and BIOS.
For a full list of physical client audit platforms, please see Multi-Platform Support.
Application Virtualization
FrontRange Discovery provides a complete software audit of all virtual applications based on the following technologies:
- Microsoft App-V 4.5
- VMware ThinApp 4.0
* FrontRange Discovery will only audit virtual machines that are connected to the network (i.e. not ‘host only’).
