Manage hardware and software assets
Tracking software licenses and equipment status across multiple departments is a
challenge. Turn that challenge into an opportunity to better budget for upgrades and
save money on license fees with the HP Compaq dc7800.
Third-party software stores hardware and software
asset information in tamper-resistant, nonvolatile
memory where it can be accessed by authorized
staff from the IT management console.
The same hardware-based, out-of-band communications channel that allows for quick
PC inventory also helps enable:
• Time savings by remotely polling all network-connected HP Compaq dc7800
Business Desktops for unique hardware IDs and software versions, regardless of
power or operating system state.
• Automatic updates to ensure PC compliance with policy-prescribed configuration.
• Fewer deskside visits to identify failed hardware parts that need to be replaced.
• Potential cost savings on license fees with accurate software inventories.
• Improvements in life-cycle management with better budgeting and planning tools for
equipment upgrades.
