Device Discovery Plugin

Netify DPI - Device Discovery Plugin

The Device Discovery plugin is a revolutionary technology designed to streamline and simplify the process of identifying devices on a network. Gone are the days of manual configuration and troubleshooting; our solution harnesses advanced algorithms to detect and automatically map all connected devices in real time.

Whether you're managing an edge network or complex enterprise infrastructure, our Device Discovery plugin ensures that every device is effortlessly recognized, eliminating the hassle of tedious setup and enhancing overall network efficiency.

Getting a full, detailed inventory of what's on the network is not only best practice, but the first step towards understanding and managing potential cybersecurity risks from suspicious or unknown devices.

How It Works

The lightweight Device Discovery Plugin continuously gathers key metrics from the Netify DPI engine and uses cloud-based analytics to identify devices. The plugin can:

• Identify devices from thousands in the catalog
• Classify each device by type (e.g., workstations, laptops, printers, mobile devices)
• Provide metadata, including operating system, software version, vendor, and more

Embracing cloud-based device discovery over traditional on-premise alternatives heralds a new era of efficiency and scalability in device management. The cloud's dynamic nature allows for seamless updates and upgrades, ensuring the device discovery system is always up-to-date.

Moreover, by leveraging the power of the cloud, the data-intensive tasks associated with device discovery are seamlessly transferred to robust and scalable remote systems. Our solution allows DPI server systems to focus on core functionalities and ensures optimal network performance and responsiveness.
