Hardware Inventory Tools

Conducting manual hardware inventories can be extremely time-consuming and error-prone. A hardware inventory tool automates the process of collecting information about the hardware capabilities of computers. Such tools ideally gather data such as computer name, CPU type and speed, memory, disk space, network card address and manufacturer, serial number, and custom parameters you specify.

Among other uses, a hardware inventory tool is a critical part of migration planning: it helps identify computers that need to be upgraded or replaced so that accurate project budgets and timeframes can be established.
