AssetStudio™ Server & Inventory Client

The AssetStudio™ Server and Inventory Client are the core products of the AssetStudio™ suite.

AssetStudio™ | Server

AssetStudio™ Server is the inventory management system.  It consists of a Web Application and SQL database. Scheduled management and maintenance tasks are configured to run as Windows Services and all administration is carried out through the simple yet powerful web application.

AssetStudio™ Server has an extensible schema to allow organisations to capture additional asset information e.g. Warranty, Department and Purchase Information. Combined with the Static and Dynamic group functionality, powerful reporting is a simple task. The archiving facility provides organisations with the ability to remove decommissioned assets, yet retain the data for compliance purposes.

The data in many other Asset Management products can quickly become out of date as they tend to be used by a subset of the IT department. Unlike other products, AssetStudio™, can be used for systems management activities. The ability to configure management tools, Software Delivery and integration with third party remote control tools means AssetStudio™ can and will be used throughout the IT department, from Service Desk to Senior Management.

Key Features:

• Simple administration from any web browser
• Ultra-fast database search facility
• Static and dynamic client groups for simple reporting
• Add and report on your own custom fields, e.g. Cost, Purchase Date, Department or track Asset Allocation
• Local and/or LDAP authentication so you can use your existing user accounts or groups
• Single page view of client inventory information
• Archiving of assets without deletion. Retain asset records for compliance
• Configurable management tools
• Integration with third party remote control tools
• Simple to install, use and maintain

AssetStudio™ Server is compatible with Windows 2000 Server and above and the database with SQL 2000 and above.  The web application is compatible with all major web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Sahara and Opera.
