asset management with fusioninventory and glpi
DESCRIPTION
FusionInventory is a set of tools to inventory assets on a network. Data is collected by an agent written in perl for the agent part, and then sentto a server written in PHP. With these tools you can get an inventory of hardware and software, either locally or remotely with SNMP. The same agent is running on all major OSes from Linux to commercial unices, through Windows.GLPI is an asset management tool, written in PHP, and it's goal is to have some persistance of the inventory data. With GLPI you can follow the full lifecycle of your assets.Both projects have a french core of participants, and are now engaged in a process of internationalisation of the team. They are widely used in France, in administrations and small to big companies, and also wordwide.TRANSCRIPT
