Belarc > BelManage Base
Belarc's architecture is based on a single enterprise-wide server and database. There is no requirement to maintain local servers or scanners. Belarc's agents are installed once and do not interact with the user or applications.
BelManage Base system includes the BelManage server software and the number of clients licensed by the Licensee. The server software is installed on the Licensee's Windows server. The BelManage clients are installed using Belarc's automated system or any software deployment system such as SMS, Tivoli, and others. The BelManage clients run as a service and are usually dormant. On a controlled schedule, typically once per day, the clients run a scan of the client computer (~ 10-15 secs.) and send the resulting profile (~ 30 KB) to the Licensee's BelManage server. The BelManage server automatically creates a SQL database and Web reports which are accessed by HQ and local administrators. The reports are automatically grouped by IP subnet, Domains, or other criteria.
BelManage Base features include the following:
- Configuration tracking with detailed software and hardware reports. Quickly determine costs to upgrade to Windows XP or Vista.
- Software License Compliance reports to easily see the number of licenses installed.
- Vulnerability assessments including Microsoft application and OS Updates, Anti-Virus status, and more.
- Performance Monitoring of important parameters such as hard drive S.M.A.R.T. status, network activity, CPU utilization, reboots and more.
- Certified to work with Cisco's NAC (Network Admission Control) system.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) and IT best practice processes such as those from the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) have demonstrated the benefits of an accurate, automated and up-todate central repository describing of all of the enterprise's IT assets and their configurations. This repository, called a Configuration Management Database (CMDB), is automatically created by BelManage.
