OCS Inventory NG

Open source IT asset inventory and package deployment solution

Visit OCS Inventory NG

OCS Inventory is an open source asset management tool for scanning and inventorying hardware and software across an IT department. It queries agents to collect hardware and software composition of machines and servers, and also queries the network to discover active elements that cannot run an agent. Since version 2.0 it includes SNMP scans to complement data collected by ipdiscover, covering printers, switches, and computers without an agent. It also includes a package deployment feature for distributing software installations, scripts, and commands from a central server over HTTP/HTTPS, with configuration to limit impact on network quality of service. FactorFX is the main contributor and publisher of OCS Inventory NG. Version 3.0.0-rc2 is available as a release candidate for testing only, not production.
