Belarc > BelManage Auditor
The BelManage Auditor is a product designed expressly for companies wishing to perform infrequent audits of their PCs. It offers features that make it particularly appropriate for service providers or systems integrators who want to offer a simple auditing service to their customers. Audits can be performed quickly and efficiently without having to visit every single desktop. The BelManage product Auditor offers a complete discovery of hardware, software and current hotfix information.
Deployment and Use
The BelManage Auditor Server provides a variety of reports on your PC assets. Information is collected by running the Auditor client on each of your PCs. This information is then uploaded to the Auditor Server, where it is compiled into a database. As well as the standard reports, users can modify the existing reports and create new ones.
The Auditor client is stored and run from an exchangeable disk, or from a networked drive. It can even be stored and run from a floppy disk. The client is very small, and the resulting profiles average less than 30 KB per computer. On one floppy disk, it is possible to store both the client and about 30 profiles. So, for a client with less than 30 PCs, it would be quite practical to visit them armed with a single floppy, audit all of their systems and then return to your office to upload the data to your BelManage server. Using Belarc's automated system, it is possible to simply mount the Auditor client on a networked disk and audit all of the PCs on the LAN without physically visiting each PC.
For service providers, the information collected from different customers can be stored in separate groups on the BelManage server. This means that a single BelManage Auditor system can be used to record data from many different customers systems and to product the appropriate reports for each of those customers.
