Devices not responding to Ping

Dear JDisc friends, in the past, we encountered the situation at some customers where devices did not respond to ping (e.g. devices within a DMZ).

Beware of slideware and test thouroughly before you purchase!

Dear JDisc friends, today I’d like to talk about how to select a network discovery tool and how JDisc approaches prospects and I guess that is what makes the difference! Selecting a network discovery tool is a time consuming and not trivial task. Once you start contacting vendor, they start to start the selling machine[...]

Dear JDisc Friends, I would like to share a pretty nice story that illustrates the value of having an up-to-date network documentation. Recently one of our clients contacted us and he said: “Look, we have some device on the network that uses the same IP address as our Microsoft Exchange server!”. Of course, that causes[...]
