total system and storage assest information

sysinfo

Total System and Storage Asset InformationTM

Supports Linux, Mac, UNIX, and Windows Direct, Reseller, and OEM sales welcomed

Overview

SysInfoTM is a system and storage solution for asset inventory and configuration reporting for most major Linux, UNIX, Apple Macintosh, and Microsoft Windows platforms as well as leading NAS and SAN Storage Systems and logical volume software solutions. SysInfo provides extremely detailed system hardware, software, OS configuration, and storage asset management and configuration data in multiple platform agnostic formats.

Data can be retrieved from the local system or remotely over any TCP/IP network from any system with the SysInfo Agent (installed by default as part of the SysInfo product) installed.

Our StorSys Pro add-on storage reporting product supports storage systems from industry leading Storage Area Network (SAN) providers such as EMC and Network Attached Storage (NAS) providers like Network Appliance.

SysInfo enables System Administrators to quickly see a high level view of a system's configuration or dive deeply into very low level configuration data. You can see something as "simple" as a system's model name or you can plunge down to detailed information such as a disk drive's serial number and RPM speed.

SysInfo supports a sophisticated Command Line Interface (CLI) for consumption by both humans and programs, as well as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to browse the volumes of data available.

SysInfo is easy to embed in your own program or shell script using our shell or Perl API's. Our parsable output encoding provides a field deliminated format which is easy to parse and convert into your own format or feed into a database.

One Tool for Multiple Platforms

SysInfo provides a single, unified interface to system information in platform neutral formats across these platforms.

Desktop and Server Systems
Linux
Sun's Solaris
Apple's MacOS X
HP's HP-UX
IBM's AIX
SGI's IRIX
Windows
Logical Volume Managers (LVM)
Veritas Volume Manager
AIX LVM
HP-UX LVM
Linux MD
Sun Solaris Volume Manager (DiskSuite)

Storage Systems
EMC
Network Appliance

Want to know the system model of all of your Sun's, HP's, Linux, and Windows systems? Just run sysinfo --show model on each system. To see how much main memory (RAM) a system has, just run sysinfo --show memory.

Automation Made Simple

Do you write shell scripts and programs on multiple platforms? You can replace line after line of OS dependent code with a single call to SysInfo. This can save you a tremendous amount of time maintaining and supporting your automation because SysInfo takes care of all the OS dependencies. You can stop worrying about your automation breaking due to OS dependencies when you upgrade your OS.

Porting your automation to a completely new platform is also dramatically easier because SysInfo knows your new platform, not your automation.

SysInfo provides easy command line output as well as a Perl and C API to make larger projects a snap.

Broad Data Reporting

Not only does SysInfo provide very deep levels of information but it also provides a very broad, rich range of data including:

  • Hardware inventory
  • Storage (Logical) Volumes
  • Storage Systems (SAN, NAS)
  • Storage (disk) filesystems and partitions
  • Software package inventory
  • Software license inventory
  • Network configuration information
  • Network interface information
  • Kernel parameters
  • System configuration parameters
  • Printers
  • System serial number
  • System architectures
  • CPU type
  • Host network addresses
  • Kernel version
  • Main memory (RAM)
  • Manufacturer and model of hardware
  • Operating system distribution
  • Operating system name
  • Operating system version
  • System model name
