Cores vs licenses, power of SAM, DR servers, Bundling, Inventory - Questions

Please share your thoughts on the matter

  1. Does your tool calculate Cores or Core Licenses?
    e.g. SQL Server/Windows Server - cores used by the server vs license cores needed (including caping rules)

  2. As SAM, do you have any active power over endpoints? If not, would you want to?
    For example:

  • uninstalling software remotely via tool
  • preinstalling from 1 server/pc to another via tool
  • remote wipe/data protection via tool
  1. Can you track software usage on disaster recovery servers? If not, would you be interested in such a feature?

  2. Can you track who did the bundling in the tool (which user bundled what and when, or whether software was bundled by default by the system). If not, would you be interested in such a feature?

  3. Do you have any problems around discovery and inventory?

Thank you!
