Summary

Frontrange Centennial SAM Suite for complete Software Asset Management: network discovery, desktop licensing and software automation

The Frontrange SAM Suite is a complete Software Asset Management solution to help you achieve and maintain total control over your software estate.

Key Benefits:
With the new FrontRange SAM Suite, staff across your enterprise can work collaboratively to:
  • Plan and manage the entire SAM initiative with interactive project management tools.
  • Automatically discover all software assets installed on the network.
  • Accurately track software usage.
  • Capture evidence of, and establish an audit trail for, software licence documentation.
  • Reconcile software usage against licence entitlement.
  • Automate critical tasks such as software deployment and configuration management.

SAM Suite Components:
SAM Essentials
Centennial SAM Essentials is a unique solution that combines expert SAM processes and workflows with recognized industry best practices and guidance. The intuitive and interactive project management tool will guide any organisation through the complete SAM initiative, even if those charged with managing the project have no specialist licence management training

FrontRange Discovery
This multi-award winning technology is foundation for success in any SAM initiative – automatically finding and identifying all software assets across the network.In addition to finding software to reconcile, Discovery can also track software usage to ensure that under-used assets are re-allocated or that support contracts can be re-negotiated. Discovery also features a wealth of pre-canned and customizable reports designed to improve IT management and decision-making.

License Manager
Centennial License Manager is the key to understanding an organisation’s entitlement against current software usage. The multi-user web interface enables finance and IT staff to work together to capture and reconcile licence information against vendor-recognized software titles.

Net Install
NetInstall sets new standards in all areas of software and configuration management, enabling you to save time and manpower and respond more quickly to changing requirements. NetInstall automates even the most complex installation tasks-from applications to drivers for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
Centennial Discovery and Centennial Licence Manager, the two core component parts of Centennial SAM.Suite can be co-located on the same server. However, we recommend that for installations of more than 10,000 PCs, the two applications are hosted on separate servers. For optimal performance, the Centennial Discovery and Centennial Licence Manager databases should be stored on separate SQL instances. Centennial Software recommends the 2005 version of SQL.

Notes for existing Centennial Discovery users:
  • Existing Centennial Discovery customers upgrading to SAM.Suite must upgrade their Discovery installation to Discovery 2007 or later.
  • When upgrading, Discovery MSDE installations must be upgraded to SQL 2005 Express
  • Licence Manager does not support MSDE, the minimum requirement is for SQL 2005 Express
