ISI Snapshot

What is ISI Snapshot ?

Snapshot is a "lightweight and portable" application for collecting hardware and software configuration data. It provides an integrated data repository, along with collection libraries designed to provide a complete view of physical, virtual, and cloud IT infrastructures, with export functionality to common desktop environments.

Uses read-only O/O/O-level credentials and commands to collect data (no foreign code is installed on the host/target device or anything written or cached).

ISI Snapshot has never brought down a server or application or had an adverse effect on network infrastructure.

ISI Snapshot provides enterprise-to-enterprise inventory and configuration support - regardless of size - for servers and their peripheral devices, such as host bus adapters, storage devices, and network infrastructure devices.
