Hyper-V inventory with Docusnap significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of IT documentation and supports decision-making processes.

Hyper-V Systems

Hyper-V inventory with Docusnap provides IT administrators and IT managers with an efficient and accurate way to comprehensively document their Microsoft Hyper-V virtual systems. Docusnap automates the collection of hardware, software, and configurations and stores this data in an integrated Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This minimizes manual effort and ensures that all information is always up to date.

Through agentless and automated inventory, Docusnap provides a complete and up-to-date overview of the entire IT environment without affecting network performance. The software assistance system used enables easy configuration and planning of inventory processes so that recording can be carried out completely autonomously at defined times.

A key benefit of Hyper-V inventory is assistance in creating detailed plans and reports. These documents form the basis for numerous tasks, such as planning and optimizing the IT infrastructure, identifying and resolving weak points, and meeting compliance requirements. Reports on certificates that are about to expire or have already expired are particularly useful, as they make it easier to overview security-related aspects.

In addition to inventory and documentation, Docusnap offers the option of exporting the collected data to Microsoft Visio in order to make further edits and create illustrative graphical network topologies. This is particularly helpful for visualizing and understanding complex virtual environments.

Overall, Hyper-V inventory with Docusnap significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of IT documentation, supports well-founded decision-making processes, and provides IT teams with the tools to optimally manage their virtual infrastructures.
