Operating Environment of HSImonitor

HSImonitor may be installed on your local server. The system maintenance is easy and simple, as only the server gets updated or modified. Even when you chose to upgrade the local computer agents, this update process is automatically handled by the server.

The system works as a client-server application: there is a server-side component called HSI Server, and a client-side component, called HSI Client (Or HSI Agent).

The data that is collected and passed back to HSI Server is encrypted and compressed utilizing TCP/IP. This provides an efficient use of network resources, ensuring that the network does not get overloaded with HSI data packets. All client server communications use the encrypted data stream so it is very difficult for someone to eavesdrop the transferred data, or try to fake a communication to the server. Making it safe to use even as an ASP service across the Internet

Business Intelligence Module (Reports Interface)

Whenever you have to plan a hardware or software upgrade, or when you have to manage assets in your company, you can use HSImonitor to build flexible reports on all of the collected data. For example, you can build a customized report based on the hardware capabilities to show you which computers must be upgraded so that you can install a new OS version.

There are a number of built-in reports such as the inactive machines report, which lists all machines that have not made connections to the HSImonitor server for longer than a specified period of time.

The report generator has a user friendly interface to build customized reports quickly and easily. It allows for customized filters and allows these to be modified to narrow down the results further by applying new filters to the results set. These report definitions may be saved for later retrieval.
