i-doit Discovery by JDisc
Automatically scan and update all your assets on your network
Discover every component in your IT infrastructure and automatically upload and update information to i-doit.
Tired of documenting manually?
Think about it:
How many hours do you spend typing serial numbers and model names?
Are your team members using consistent naming conventions?
Your time is too valuable for manual data entry and corrections - especially when all this information already exists in your network.
While manual documentation is possible, it's inefficient and costly.
Plus, keeping your CMDB up-to-date is essential for getting real value from your IT documentation.
The solution:
Perfect integration of CMDB and network discovery

Questions / heading for this?
What is actually...
-
... an objekt in i-doit?
An object corresponds to an asset or configuration item (CI), e.g. a server, a router or a client PC. An operating system or an Office application, a contract or a licence are also considered objects in i-doit.
-
... a JDisc credit?
JDisc records devices in four different categories. These categories result from the programming effort required to record the assigned devices. JDisc credits are used to make the categories comparable.
-
... the difference between objects and credits?
Recording devices in your network vary in complexity. For this reason, JDisc has introduced categories that reflect the effort involved in programming. Credits are used to establish comparability. However, once the devices have been recorded, they only need to be imported into i-doit. Here, one device corresponds to one object.
