The solution main components

The agent

The FusionInventory Agent is a generic multi-platform agent. It can perform a large array of management tasks, such as local inventory, software deployment or network discovery. It can be used either standalone, or in combination with a compatible server (OCS Inventory, GLPI, OTRS, Uranos, ...) acting as a centralized control point.

Two of these tasks are included in agent source distribution, local inventory and wake on lan. Other tasks are distributed separatly, excepted for binary distributions where they are bundled together.

The GLPI Plugin

GLPI is the Information Resource-Manager with an additional Administration Interface.

You can use it to build up a database with an inventory for your company (computer, software, printers, ...). It has enhanced functions to make the daily life for the administrators easier, like a job tracking system with mail-notification and methods to build a database with information about your network-topology.

GLPI also comes with an integrated Request Tracking solution.

FusionInventory for GLPI is a plugin for GLPI.
