OCS Inventory NG
Open Computer and Software Inventory Next Generation (OCS
Inventory NG) is a cross-platform, open-source application designed to
help a network or system administrator keep track of the computers
configuration and software that are installed on the network.
Information about Hardware and Operating System is collected
by the software. OCS Inventory is also able to detect all active
devices on your network, such as switch, router, network printer and
unattended devices. It also allows deploying softwares, commands or
files on client computers.
This software therefore enables system administrators to
identify all of the devices that are attached to a network, what
software or hardware component is installed on individual computers, as
well as the ability to deploy software and configuration
scripts on them.
