SolarWinds Web Help Desk adds Automatic Asset Discovery and SolarWinds Network and Systems Management Software Integration

Now with automatic asset discovery, IT pros can keep IT inventory current by scheduling automated discovery of all hardware and software assets and information including hostname, model, serial number, logged-in user, operating system, hard drive, memory, and installed software.

In addition, SolarWinds Web Help Desk now supports integration with SolarWinds network and systems management software including SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor, SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor and SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager.
