To ensure data integrity, ZENmetrics™ regularly discovers, baselines, and updates the ZENmetrics™ CMDB configuration items (hardware, software, devices and their associated configuration data) providing an up-to-date and accurate CMDB datastore for your external systems.

The speed of ZENmetrics™ is unrivalled; it is capable of exploring IP addresses at a rate in excess of 10,000 per minute, extensive configuration inspection analysis at a rate of 180 personal computers per minute and blisteringly quicker for other network attached devices. To comprehensively collect data for analysis from a network of 2000+ PCs/servers/devices typically takes less than 10 minutes.

The automated data acquisition and updating process supports scheduling, consolidation, reconciliation, and a variety of synchronization techniques including asset categorization based on business rules for Configuration Identification.

The Raptor engine captures real-time knowledge of devices connecting to the network.  ZENmetrics™ manages multiple Discovery Engines in a distributed architecture to achieve an in-depth network census using intelligent probes.

A comprehensive census is generated from polling of all IP-addressable devices and their peripheral devices, including Windows, Unix, Linux, Solaris, software, data, wireless access points, routers, switches, printers, firewalls, IP phones, etc. using ZENmetrics™ immediate search and discovery capability according to user-defined schedules.
