Auto Network Discovery: Making the Invisible Visible!
60% of IT Teams Don't Know Their True Inventory!
60% of IT teams don’t know exactly how many devices, servers, or applications exist in their organization. This lack of visibility may seem like a minor oversight at first, but it is actually a warning sign of significant operational risk. Imagine a server remaining unpatched because no one realizes it’s still active. This can lead to security vulnerabilities, attacks, and hours of downtime. Or consider license renewals—extra devices unnoticed in the inventory can result in unnecessary expenses. In this chaos, both time and budget are wasted. SPIDYA ITAM’s Auto Network Discovery feature eliminates this invisibility, putting control back in the hands of IT teams!
Why Auto Network Discovery is the Solution
Rapidly changing and increasingly complex IT environments, it has become virtually impossible for organizations to manually track their hardware, software, and network assets. SPIDYA IT Asset Management addresses this challenge with its powerful Auto Network Discovery feature.
Unlike traditional inventory management, SPIDYA automatically discovers all your assets—physical, virtual, and cloud—from the moment it connects to your network. It performs detailed audits and adds them seamlessly to your inventory, ensuring accuracy and continuity. Without Auto Network Discovery, an inventory system is merely a “static list.” With Auto Network Discovery, that list becomes live, reliable, and actionable, providing a solid foundation for ITSM, ITAM, CMDB, and monitoring solutions alike.
SPIDYA IT Asset Management: Complete Control Over Your IT Assets
Thanks to SPIDYA IT Asset Management’s proactive approach, Shadow IT risks are eliminated, license compliance is guaranteed, and you gain real-time access to the location, configuration, and status of your assets. With SPIDYA, you achieve full visibility and control over your inventory, enabling cost optimization and ensuring business continuity.
Location Management
SPIDYA manages the physical, logical, and virtual locations of IT assets, adding a geographical and organizational dimension to your inventory. This allows you to easily locate and manage your assets no matter where they are.
Organizational Location Creation: Primary and sub-locations are created to ensure all devices in the inventory are assigned to the correct positions. This allows you to manage your assets by organizational structure and in a hierarchical manner.
Geographical Tracking: Adds address information to locations, informing you of where your assets are on a map. This feature is critically important for companies with multiple branches.
Data Center Visualization: For physical assets, it visualizes your server cabinet placement (Rack Diagram). This helps you optimize data center space usage and allows for quick intervention.
Cloud and Virtual Environment Discovery: It is not limited to physical locations; it discovers your cloud environment and shows where your virtual assets and data are stored.
Service Provider Support: Helps Service Providers (MSPs) easily manage equipment belonging to different clients through location-based separation.
Device Discovery
SPIDYA automatically creates a deep, real-time inventory of your network’s IT assets. This feature eliminates the risk of errors associated with manual inventory tracking and provides full visibility over your IT environment.
Automatic Network Scanning: Automatically identifies and adds to the inventory all devices (physical, virtual, cloud resources), servers, services, and applications on the network. This ensures no critical component is missed.
Management of Non-Networked Devices: It is not limited to networked devices. It ensures that devices added to the inventory that are temporarily or permanently disconnected from the network (e.g., spare devices in storage, old but recorded assets) are also stored and tracked in the inventory.
Comprehensive Hardware Inventory: Collects detailed feature data, such as IP address, MAC address, operating system information, and hardware configuration (CPU, RAM, disk, serial number) for every discovered device.
Active Directory (AD) Integration: Accelerates the process with automatic asset discovery via Active Directory. Through this integration, user accounts and access information, along with device data, are transferred to the ITAM system.
Software Discovery: Creates an inventory of all applications, operating systems, and services installed on devices.
Device Audit
SPIDYA continuously audits not only the presence but also the in-depth details and current status of all discovered and inventoried assets. This audit allows you to see the instant health status and configuration compliance of your IT environment.
Hardware Component Audit: Audits in detail all internal hardware components of each device, such as the motherboard, processor (CPU), disk, memory (RAM), and others.
Software Component Audit: Performs audits of all installed software, running services, operating system versions, and critical file checks on the device.
Network Component Audit: Audits all network configurations, including network cards, IP addresses, open ports, and routing information.
System Information Recording: Records all critical system information (BIOS version, system variables, installation date, etc.) belonging to the device.
User and Group Audit: Audits the users authorized on the device and the user groups to which they belong.
IT Asset Management
IT Asset Management (ITAM), which forms the basis of SPIDYA, converts data obtained from the discovery and audit phases into meaningful insights, providing strategic management throughout the entire lifecycle of your assets.
Detailed and Real-Time Inventory: Provides a detailed and up-to-date inventory of your existing hardware, software, and network assets from a central point.
Cost Optimization: Provides concrete data that helps you reduce software licensing and support costs by facilitating the detection of unnecessary or unused software and hardware.
Increased Control and Visibility: Increases the full visibility of your IT assets, maximizing your control over all your owned assets.
Disaster Recovery Support: The detailed inventory and configuration data (CMDB) collected help you quickly determine which systems are where and how they are configured during a disaster or unexpected event, assisting you in quickly restoring your systems.
Software Licensing
SPIDYA automates the complex software licensing process, minimizing compliance risk and optimizing your software expenditure.
Automatic Software Discovery: Automatically discovers all software installed on your systems.
Detection of “Shadow IT”: Detects unauthorized software and devices (shadow IT) on your network that are not approved or monitored by IT teams.
License Matching and Compliance: Automatically matches installed software with purchased licenses entered into the system.
Historical Analysis: Creates historical snapshots to compare changes in the software inventory over time.
Cost Optimization Reports: Detects license over-utilization and prepares reports that allow you to take precautions against unexpected high bills by identifying idle software.
Reporting
SPIDYA converts the large data set obtained from discovery, audit, and asset management into clear, actionable, periodic reports that enable managers to make rapid decisions.
Periodic Status Reports: Provides weekly reports on hardware changes, new software installations, and devices in the inventory that are not connected to the network.
New Device Discovery Reports: Provides weekly reports on new devices discovered and identified on your network.
License Alerts and Management: Issues weekly license alerts regarding software with expiring licenses to prevent approaching compliance issues and costs.
10% New Devices Join Your Network Every Day, But Which Ones Do You Actually See?
Without real-time Auto Network Discovery, a CMDB only reflects a snapshot of the past. Yet sustainable IT management is only possible when you can monitor the present and anticipate the future.
Organizations that lack dynamic and accurate inventory visibility put both their operational efficiency and security resilience at risk. Auto Network Discovery provides this visibility — redefining the speed, accuracy, and strategic impact of IT teams’ decision-making.
