About SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools
Powerful network automation and configuration management software. Affordable network configuration management for small business networks. Schedule automatic backup activities and roll out configuration changes to multiple devices at the same time. Pre-schedule changes to your network device configurations to occur only on the devices you choose, and only when you want them to. Get alerted on changes to your network equipment so you can head off any malicious activities. Quickly rollback configuration changes when needed to avoid issues before their impact is felt. Schedule automated backups of network device configuration from routers, switches, firewalls, etc. Managing one-off config changes isn’t easy, not to mention the impact a minor issue can have on your entire network. Simultaneously perform or schedule configuration changes across multiple network devices with great ease. Changes to config files, outside of your knowledge, could be a sign of something insidious.

JDisc Discovery is a comprehensive network inventory and IT asset management solution designed to help organizations gain clear, up-to-date visibility into their IT environment. It automatically scans and maps devices across the network, including servers, workstations, virtual machines, and network hardware, to create a detailed inventory of all connected assets. This includes critical information such as hardware configurations, software installations, patch levels, and relationshipots between devices.
One of the standout features of JDisc Discovery is its agentless discovery process, meaning it does not require the installation of any software on individual devices, reducing deployment time and minimizing network impact. It supports a wide range of protocols (e.g., SNMP, SSH, WMI) to gather data, making it compatible with diverse IT environments, whether they are Windows, Linux, or Unix-based.
