Device Manager
Auto-discover and inventory all of the devices in your multi-vendor network at scale—no matter what the size or complexity
See if Device Manager is right for you
Overview
Single Source of Truth
It is important for enterprise IT to establish a “single source of truth” for their network device inventory. This includes information critical to operate effectively and minimize risk. For example, they strive to know the currently running operating system on each network device. Applying Gluware’s discovery capabilities, Device Manager is able to query each device across 40+ different operating systems, leveraging their respective device-detect libraries and interrogating each device for current details in minutes, all the way down to its CLI. Device Manager is powered by Gluware’s underlying orchestration engine, enabling discovery across thousands of devices. In addition to discovering your source of truth, Gluware can synchronize and reconcile with an external 3rd party system through the use of the published REST-based GluAPI.
Once device details have been discovered in Device Manager, Gluware grid search and sort features can examine and understand the inventory so users can realize benefits including planning device swap/replace, operating system change management, and more. The details are fully exportable.
Gluware Device Manager integrates with CiscoⓇ API Console to use the inventory information and make API calls to access EoX bulletins, SmartNet contract details and PSIRT advisories. Device Manager also integrates with NIST for multi-vendor CVEs. This information provides further details to help prioritize equipment replacement and OS upgrades required for security concerns.
