Give every operation dependable fleet context.
Maintain discovered hardware, software, configuration, site, and advisory information in a shared device inventory.
THE BUSINESS NEED
Build a fleet management foundation.
Incomplete inventory makes patching, standards enforcement, and recovery harder to scope. Engineers need to know what exists, where it belongs, what software it runs, and whether the platform can manage it. Gluware’s inventory gives the applications a common device context to work from.
HOW THE CAPABILITY WORKS
How Gluware supports a robust lifecycle.
Populate and refresh records
Add devices manually, import records, use API additions, or run Network Discovery plans. Device Manager captures hardware, software, and configuration information for the supported devices.
Organize and operate at fleet scale
Use Site Explorer to create sites and assign devices. Device Explorer supports multi-edit, grouping, search, filtering, sorting, import/export, and configuration search so teams can select the right targets.
Review lifecycle and security information
Gluware uses API integration with NIST/NVD for multi-vendor CVE information and Cisco Support API integration for Cisco PSIRT advisories, including their CVEs. Cisco Support API also supplies EoL/EoS and SmartNet status.
Share the required context
Use native NetBox and/or ServiceNow CMDB synchronization with configured record linking and property ownership. Data Explorer provides reusable reports and exports; Dashboard presents useful operational views.
THE BUSINESS Value
Deliver maximum ROI from the network fleet.
Measure inventory completeness, freshness, exceptions, and the fleet coverage available to audits, upgrades, and recovery. The business value appears in better-targeted work and faster onboarding, rather than device count alone.
