Archive Analytics extends the functionality of LANDesk Management Suite by adding advanced Asset and Compliance Management features to the already robust systems management application.

 

 

 

 

The Asset Management Lifecycle is complex. Tracking the number of changes an asset undergoes throughout its life is an expensive, error-prone, and time consuming undertaking. When assets are retired and no longer in use, they still need to remain compliant with industry regulations and standards. Archive Analytics retrieves configuration data from every asset your organization has owned and shows the status of a system within your environment as it passes through inactive states, such as repair or stock, allowing staff to archive retired systems with full auditing capabilities. Archive Analytics does this without impacting the licensing of your LANDesk system.

 

 

It is common for some assets to be lost or stolen during their lifetime. Archive Analytics detects and identifies those systems that have gone missing from your environment and helps determine if they have been retired through bad process or if they have disappeared due to other negative circumstances.

 

 

 

Software Distribution is a powerful ROI generator but can be difficult to track its actual usage. Archive Analytics provides the data and capability to analyze individual tasks and/or policies to see the overall performance of software distribution across a particular period of time. Find out how much, or how little, this powerful component is being used and how accurate and successful that use truly is.

 

 

 

 

LANDesk includes the powerful capability to deliver software and changes to an entire organization through software distribution but doesn´t provide a great deal of data of historical activities. By collecting and analyzing LANDesk® data, Archive Analytics provides the ability to see a historical list of Software Distribution activities against any selected machines to aid in troubleshooting and auditing activities, making it easy to see what has been done to a particular system.

 

 

 

Every environment is continually changing and evolving. It can often be difficult to identify what kind of affect this has on the organization. Archive Analytics records all changes and provides built-in analysis reports to see impacts of changes in common areas such as: memory, hard drive space availability, OS distributions, software installations and removals, application of MS security hotfixes, and growth and shrinkage of the environment.

Across each of these areas, Archive Analytics allows the environment to be viewed between specified date ranges to see how the organization is changing over time. Application History Applications are installed and removed almost every day.

This data is collected but often difficult to make sense of. What applications are growing in presence over time, which are decreasing? What installations and removals are happening each day/week/month?

Archive Analytics enables administrators to produce historical analysis reports to see how the prevalence of applications in the environment is changing.
