Automated inventory management, lifecycle management and security insights for modern network environments.

Keep track of assets, software versions, licences and lifecycle risks at all times.

In modern network infrastructures, assets, software versions and security requirements are constantly changing. New devices are added, existing systems are updated, lifecycle milestones draw nearer and new vulnerabilities are disclosed.

The challenge lies in maintaining an overview of the entire installed base at all times and making informed decisions based on up-to-date data. In day-to-day operations, this raises very specific questions: Which devices are affected by a newly disclosed vulnerability? Which components will reach end-of-support in the coming months? And for which systems is there no up-to-date configuration backup?

If inventory lists and network documentation are maintained manually, they are often already out of date by the time you need them – and answering any of these questions becomes a time-consuming task.

The CANCOM Inventory Engine provides precisely this level of transparency. It automatically records and analyses your infrastructure and centrally provides up-to-date information on assets, lifecycle status, software versions and security risks.

With the CANCOM Inventory Engine, you reduce manual effort, increase planning reliability and lay the foundations for efficient asset, lifecycle and vulnerability management.

IT inventory with Inventory Engine from CANCOM

CANCOM Inventory Engine - Intelligent IT inventory for network environments

The CANCOM Inventory Engine isa powerful appliance – developed by CANCOM’s intelligent networks specialists. As an in-house, API-based development, it has been specifically designed for secure and efficient use in demanding IT environments.

The appliance is operated on-premises directly within your network. It automatically inventories your network components, keeps your infrastructure documentation up to date on a daily basis, and cross-checks the collected data against lifecycle information and published security advisories.

The result is more than just a simple list of devices: you can see not only which assets are in use, but also where specific action is required. This turns the inventory into a reliable basis for decision-making regarding operations, security and investment planning – with minimal operational effort.

Developed specifically for Cisco network infrastructures and flexible enough for use in multi-vendor environments across LAN, WAN, WLAN, data centres and security.

FAQs on IT inventory

Find out everything about IT inventory with the Inventory Engine from CANCOM.

  • What is IT asset management?

    IT asset inventory involves the systematic recording, documentation and management of all relevant IT assets and network components. It provides transparency regarding the existing infrastructure and forms the basis for asset, lifecycle and security management.

    This includes, for example:

    • Hardware: computers, servers, routers, switches, printers, mobile devices, etc.
    • Software: operating systems, applications, licences, versions, etc.
    • Network components: firewalls, access points, cabling, IP addresses, etc.

  • Why is IT inventory management important?

    An up-to-date and comprehensive inventory forms the basis for the secure and efficient operation of modern IT and network infrastructures.

    It helps organisations to:

    • achieve transparency regarding the systems and assets in use
    • Identify lifecycle risks at an early stage
    • Meet security and compliance requirements more effectively
    • Manage software and licence statuses efficiently
    • Plan investments and technology refreshes in a targeted manner
    • To reduce documentation and audit workloads
  • Why is it important to update the IT asset inventory regularly?

    Network infrastructures are constantly changing. New systems are added, existing devices are replaced or updated, and new security risks come to light.

    Only an up-to-date inventory enables informed decisions in the following areas:

    • Operation and maintenance
    • Lifecycle management
    • Security and vulnerability management
    • Budget and investment planning
    • Compliance and auditing

    With an automated solution such as the CANCOM Inventory Engine, this information is always up to date and available without the need for manual maintenance.
