From a general overview of the entire network, down to
understanding PCs at the component level,
Discovery.Visual helps IT staff, managers and executives
fully scope and understand their IT estate by dynamically
presenting all discovered assets in a graphical format.
This enables users to quickly assess the relationships
between PCs and switches; compare the status of
machines; determine the extent of software deployments
and much more.
With the adage that ‘a picture paints a
thousand words’, Discovery.Visual helps managers make
informed decisions more swiftly and provides an at-aglance
reference to the state of the network.
Discovery.Visual is included in the Discovery ‘Enterprise
Edition’ or can be purchased separately to work with any
existing Discovery installation*.
Discovery.Visual is based
on standard Microsoft Visio technology, and as such no
special training or skills are required beyond an
understanding of the Visio interface.
* Supported versions of Discovery only. Requires MS Visio 2003 Professional.
