Assets Database

The assets database helps extend the information that Vector AM holds about the software and hardware assets within your organization. It enables you to easily enter and access extra information about your network so you can work in the way that best suits you.

Using a simple, user-friendly interface, it enables you to select the information you want to store with each type of asset on your network, including information that is not normally available in network management products, such as manufacturer, purchase and warranty, and maintenance information. Each asset type is set up as a template, so you can use it to ensure the consistency of the data held about the equipment on your network. Furthermore, because it is fully integrated with other parts of Vector AM, you can use it to produce extended reports on the status of your network either by using the built-in reports or by creating your own SQL queries.

To open the assets database, click the Maintain Assets Data operation in the Vector AM Console.
