Check out vScope’s new “Breakdown Tables” on the intranet
vScope is making its move to the intranet so that more people and functions in the organization can have easier access to crucial information about the IT infrastructure.
In vScope 1.7.8 we introduced Breakdown Tables. This is a simplified way of viewing tabbed tabled broken down by Service, Customer, Organization, Site, or anything else you might find relevant.
Here is how to set up a Breakdown Table:
- Go into Preferences and select Breakdown Tables under Web Access and APIs
- Name your Breakdown Table (such as Customers, Services, Sites etc…)
- Select a table preset to define what columns to publish in this view
- Decide on a “master”-tag that you use as critera for breakdown. Each Value of this tag will become a separate tab in the breakdown view. You may use a “Customer tag” if such exists, or use something that is there directly after a first discovery (e.g. VMware Folder, Resource pool, or Operating System)
- Apply
And here is how to find it on the web:
The breakdown table is now avaialbe on the intranet. You can find you vScope server at http://[vscope-server]/portal

The key to reduced people costs in IT
Many IT organizations experience that more than 1/3 of the budget is spent on people costs. Much of this time is spent on tracking configurations and performing manual routines and follow-ups.
“-We know that the backup software is performing, but which servers are actually lacking backup?”
“-What machines do not have anti-virus installed?”
“-What resources can we optimize so that we can postpone or avoid new investments?”
The list of questions is long, but chances are good that the answers are found in vScope!
In vScope 1.7.7 we have made an effort in attacking the manual routine work by automating configuration and performance audit. In other words it lets you achieve more in less time, thus saving in on your people costs. It’s time to release the power of your IT guy and enable him to work where he adds the most value. Leave the routine work to vScope.

The 4 security controls your business should take now
In PC World, Tony Bradley writes about the 4 security controls your should take now.
1. Inventory of authorized and unauthorized devices
2. Inventory of authorized and unauthorized software
3. Continuous vulnerability assessment and remediation
4. Malware defenses
vScope comes into play in bullet 1, 2 and 4. vScope takes care of discovery and inventory of both hardware and software. Combined with the compliance analytic engine, rule based tests are performed automatically and regularly. Examples of tests include finding servers where anti-virus agents are not installed.

There never will be a perfect computer or network defense. Computer security is a constantly elevating game of cat-and-mouse. As quickly as you address the latest threat, attackers have already developed a new technique to access your network and compromise your PCs. But if you focus on the fundamentals, you can minimize your risk and defend against most attacks.
