Get visibility and control of your software assets & licenses throughout its entire life-cycle, drive down costs and get the maximum return on investment. Always remain compliant.
Single Source of Truth with a Centralized SAM & ITAM Database
Adheres to ISO19700 and ISO20770 standards
Rythium Euladox is your complete software license management solution. The application discovers software installed across all your systems, will visualize your deployment architectures, entitlements & contracts, apply licensing rules and auto generate your compliance reports.
The audit practices of software publishers makes it imminent for end-users to continually be aware of their license compliance status. Not being aware could potentially lead to
It is thus imperative for every organisation to have SAM processes embedded in their IT DNA.
With Rythium Euladox for Software Asset Management, you can optimize license consumption to reduce costs, reduce risk of unbudgeted penalties for non-compliance, reduce software maintenance spend & improve vendor relationships with better visibility of software usage.
Discovery Satellite conducts Agentless discovery of all the assets in your enterprise network. The scan automatically provides visibility of all assets including software deployed information.
Euladox Discovery Satellite has the following key attributes that are crucial in building a good asset inventory database:
| Key Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Native Deployment | Euladox does not depend on any 3rd party scanning software for collection of network inventory data. |
| Multi-protocol Discovery | Euladox scans and discovers all networked devices – computers, network printers, routers, switches, etc. |
| Multi-segment & Location Discovery | The discovery satellite works both in online and offline modes allowing discovery of every potential combination of network architectures. |
| Native Adaptors | Active Directory, VMware, Hyper V, Xen Server, OVM, Oracle Technology Products, IBM MQ, DB2, MS SQL Server. |
| Real Time Reporting | Discovery completed and error reports for monitoring and troubleshooting. |
| Troubleshooting | Tools for troubleshooting access issues |
Software Inventory Normalisation is the process of transforming the data (of software installed & used) obtained by Rythium’s Discovery into standardized, consistent & actionable information useful for software asset management.
The process of Software Inventory Normalisation involves:
Rythium discovery and software inventory normalization covers every software installed & used in a machine. While most get recognized out-of-the-box, the remaining are recognized by analyzing installation signatures & file evidences as part of our standard support services.
Rythium has specific adaptors for
There are two aspects to Datacenter Software Compliance:
Hardware Deployment Architecture
The key to understanding datacenter license lies in the ability to discover and normalize all the servers & virtualization technologies used. Rythium has an in-built server catalog containing servers manufactured since 2002 by companies like IBM/Lenovo, HP, Dell, Cisco, Sun/Oracle, Fujitsu, Nutanix. Processors from Intel, AMD, IBM, Sun/Oracle, HP are also mapped in its entirety.
Software Discovery and Normalization Processes
Rythium has specialized adaptors for:
Many companies have contract management systems but these tools do not focus on managing software license contracts.
Rythium’s Contract Management module is a central element in the Software Asset Management process with the following key attributes:
Rythium’s Software Asset Management tool has definitions for different types of procurement instruments that allows accrual of entitlement information:
Rythium’s License entitlement management has two synergistic aspects coming together:
2. Entitlement Proofs
The term Effective License Position (ELP) originated from the Microsoft SAM practice. It has become a de-facto standard for most software asset management reporting methodologies.
The ELP is a report that compares the deployed software with the procured licenses or entitlements.
While the ELP is an industry-standard for compliance reporting, some of the larger software vendors have their own set of reports to understand deployment, usage, and compliance. Rythium Software Asset Management tries to mimic the needs of different software publishers and provide specially designed reports, views and analytical dashboards.
Currently, Rythium’s Software Asset Management tool has vendor specific reports for:
Software metering is collecting statistics about application usage in managed machines. The data collection is continuous or at scheduled polling intervals.
Rythium’s Software Asset Management provides two metering functionalities:
