We continue to manually analyze large sets of audit data, ensuring frequent updates to License Audit with all lessons learned. Also our users provide valuable feedback and tips. Accordingly improvements are released: Below table illustrates the most important improvements.
Do you have any tips and/or feedback? We’d love to hear from you!
– Final testing of CPU shell scripts to determine Oracle CPU count
– Working on first video lessons explaining each tab in the xls report
– Development of an ‘Oracle Server Worksheet, which includes all relevant CPU info resulting from shell scripts
– Development of Partner Program, allowing SAM vendors to include License Audit technology in their services to clients ( contact us for info!)
– Start development of VMware CLI scripts to query vCenter environments
– Start development of shell scripts to determine Oracle CPU counts, which include scenario’s for OVM, Solaris Zones, LPARs
– Development of roadmap to better explain data to novice users (video instructions)
– Implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) for client portal, for better security and safety
– Release of encryption script, allowing clients to locally encrypt all sensitive data such as hostnames, DBA users, instance names etcetera. We use AES-256 algorithms, which is the first and only public accessible cipher approved by the NSA. In addition to offline decryption, we allow users to de-crypt online which is only applied to the users’ secure sessions.
