VMware Inventory

Docusnap uses an existing web interface to automatically document VMware environments, which significantly reduces manual effort.

Detailed insights into the virtual infrastructure

VMware inventory with Docusnap provides IT administrators and IT managers with an efficient and comprehensive solution for managing their virtual infrastructure. Docusnap uses an existing web interface to automatically record and document VMware environments, which significantly reduces manual effort and at the same time increases the accuracy of the data.

A particular advantage of VMware inventory is that all collected data is integrated into Docusnap's central Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This provides a holistic overview of the entire IT infrastructure and serves as a reliable basis for decision-making processes and optimization measures. IT administrators can thus quickly and easily access detailed information about hardware, installed software, and specific configurations.

Through regular and automated inventory, Docusnap ensures that the data is always up to date. This is particularly helpful for tasks such as capacity management, planning updates, or identifying potential vulnerabilities in the virtual environment. In addition, by creating illustrative plans and reports, Docusnap provides a clear presentation of VMware environments, including virtual machines and switches, which significantly improves transparency and traceability.

Another highlight of VMware inventory is the automatically generated output documents. These include reports on network topology, overviews of the virtual infrastructure, and detailed analyses of resource usage. These documents are not only useful for internal purposes but are also extremely valuable during audits and external audits.

Overall, VMware inventory with Docusnap provides a powerful solution that helps IT administrators and IT managers efficiently manage the complexity of their virtual environments while increasing operational safety and efficiency. By automating data collection and integrating it into a central CMDB, time-consuming manual processes are minimized, which significantly reduces the burden on the IT team.
