SQL Inventory Manager is a discovery and inventory management solution for Microsoft SQL Server environments. It identifies, tracks, and documents SQL Server instances across an organization’s infrastructure. The software automatically discovers SQL Server installations in physical, virtual, and cloud environments. It collects detailed information about instances, databases, versions, configurations, and related system properties. This information is stored centrally and made accessible through a management console. SQL Inventory Manager enables administrators to maintain visibility into their SQL Server landscape, including version levels, patch status, and configuration details. It supports reporting and alerting to help ensure compliance with internal standards and lifecycle policies. The solution is designed for organizations that require an accurate and up-to-date inventory of SQL Server assets for operational management, licensing reviews, audits, and infrastructure planning.
