FrontRange, the premium provider of Hybrid IT Service Management solutions, announced today a significant upgrade to its HEAT® Discovery solution. Enhancements in this new release include a new Advanced Search capability and customizable alerting. HEAT Discovery 9.3 is now generally available.
HEAT Discovery 9.3 introduces advanced search capability in the Web Control Center allowing end-users to generate their own custom searches with multiple criteria and across specified organizational units. The new alerting of 9.3 can be granularly configured, allowing the Admin to determine what exact discovered data changes trigger alerts and emails by the Discovery System. Additionally, HEAT Discovery 9.3 introduces organizational unit-specific client audit settings, giving customers more flexibility for site and client type specific audits.
“Having an accurate idea of what hardware and software is installed in the environment is a necessity to being able to manage it. Essentially, if you don’t know what is installed, then it is impossible to keep track of or manage it,” said Gartner Research Director, Patricia Adams. i
Key enhancements to Discovery 9.3 include:
- Flexible web UI search
- Improved alerting
- Organizational unit-specific client configurations
- Idle agents for locked down machines
- Login credentials based on Active Directory Groups
“In today’s complex environments, knowing exactly what hardware and software you have and where it is on the network is a real challenge. HEAT Discovery makes it easy for organizations to gain better control of their complex IT infrastructures and improve end-user productivity,” said Udo Waibel, CTO at FrontRange. “With HEAT Discovery, FrontRange’s customers are able to reduce time spent to track down hardware by up to 95 percent.”
