Hyper-V Systems

The Hyper-V inventory with Docusnap gives IT administrators and IT managers an efficient and precise method to comprehensively document their virtual Microsoft Hyper-V systems. Docusnap automates the collection of host and VM configuration and stores this data in an integrated Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This minimizes manual effort and ensures that all information is always up to date.

In addition to basic system and resource data, Docusnap also documents security-relevant settings such as Secure Boot, TPM, encryption, and shielded VMs. The inventory is further complemented by detailed virtual switches, SET/teaming, Fibre Channel configuration, and the replication service for disaster recovery scenarios.

Thanks to the agentless, automated inventory, Docusnap provides a complete and current overview of the entire virtual infrastructure without impacting network performance.

In addition to inventory and documentation, Docusnap also lets you export the captured data to Microsoft Visio to create clear, graphical network topologies.
