Discovery Reveals the Biggest Risk IT Faces: The Unknown, Unknown

The biggest risk IT faces is what it doesn’t know. Inefficient components are a potential cost drain, while unidentified risks could become a larger liability. At the same time, when IT introduces new infrastructure without thoroughly planning or knowing what existing risks may already exist, there is a danger of introducing a new risk.

Sentilla moves companies from tracking data centers on spreadsheets to a complete understanding of everything encompassed in their IT infrastructure, including how it is configured and when it was purchased. Every Sentilla solution deployment features Sentilla discovery service, which includes:

• Basic network scan for connected systems
• Profiling and detecting systems and their running services
• Asset workflow to import and stage assets
• Agentless discover and system configuration reporting leveraging WMI on Windows, SNMP, DMI and other interfaces on Unix

Integrated with CMDBs and IT tools, the Sentilla discover service empowers its customers with a synchronized view of the assets in the IT infrastructure. Sentilla integrates with various CMDBs from major software vendors including BMC, HP, IBM, VMware, and Emerson Aperture.

Once the IT infrastructure is discovered, Sentilla automatically starts continuously monitoring and analyzing the resource consumption and costs of IT systems and facilities.
