About Raynet One

Data and the way in which we use it within our IT environment have a big impact on IT operations, functionality, security and performance. For this reason Raynet One, combines future-oriented technologies with adaptive solutions and enables seamless automation of routine IT tasks.

 

Through proactive pattern recognition and autonomous learning, Raynet One creates a new dimension of IT management. The focus is on increased security, maximum efficiency and performance.

 

Increasing IT visibility: By collecting, normalizing and enriching data from your IT assets, the platform is able to provide insights for the entire IT landscape within the organization and eliminate data silos to provide a central view.

Making your data work for you: Data knowledge is power. In order to keep your IT landscape fit, healthy and competitive, regular health and security check-ups are mandatory. So, the Raynet One platform offers a number of functions to get detailed insights (e.g. via the multilevel Details view) and an extensive summary of IT assets, installed software (e.g. inventory, End of Life (EoL) and End of Service (EoS) detection) via inventory and discovery runs.

Identifying IT security risks: Without supervision, every IT environment can turn into a danger zone inviting viruses and malware, data loss and file damage to interfere with your goals. This is why Raynet One offers functions which help you detect potential issues caused by "shadow IT", outdated software packages (EoL and EoS) and identification gaps located on your IT assets.

Improving the quality of discovered and displayed data: For example, when discovering software data on your IT assets, you can choose between a raw data view and an enriched view. This works because the platform is connected both to the Technology Catalog and to other databases which you can add according to your preferences.

Discovering and avoiding unnecessary or hidden IT expenses and "technical debt": Technical debt, meaning unnecessary costs caused by redundant outdated operation systems, IT assets or servers, often remains unnoticed for a long time and adds up. In Raynet One, you can automate and simplify your search for IT assets and structures wasting resources. For example, scheduled discovery and inventory runs and in the Details view offer you deeper insights into your IT landscape.

Optimizing your software portfolio: Software portfolios in a business context only perform safely and efficiently when software packages are up to date (meaning: not EoL or EoS) and don't show security or compatibility issues. For this purpose, the platform discovers and displays vulnerabilities and IT assets with a critical EoL and EoS status. It also normalizes and enriches software package data and includes filtering and search functions which help you checking on relevant specifications more efficiently.
