Understanding Client Automation › Inventorying and Management of Devices

Inventorying and Management of Devices

The asset management functions in CA Client Automation (Client Automation) provide administrators with a simple automated mechanism for inventorying and managing devices on an enterprise network, through a process of discovery and agent deployment. The provision of an installed agent onto the discovered devices allows for ongoing centralized management and control of the devices.

This section provides information about the following asset management features:

• Basic Inventory Component
• Non Resident Inventory Support

For more information about the asset management functions, components, and requirements see the Asset Management Administration Guide, which is part of the CA Client Automation documentation set.
