Alloy Software Launches New Alloy Discovery Product for Advanced Network Inventory Management

Targeting Small and Medium-sized Business Environments, Alloy
Discovery is Easy-to-Use, Customizable and Offers a Significant Number
of Best-in-Class Features
NUTLEY, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Alloy Software, Inc., a leading provider of service and asset
management software solutions, today announced a new, comprehensive
network inventory solution for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS platforms -
Alloy Discovery. Targeting small and medium-sized businesses as well
as IT service providers, Alloy Discovery offers a broad range of
features that allow users to take control of hardware and software
inventory with an array of methods and strategies.

"The new Alloy Discovery product is the next generation version of
our former Alloy Network Inventory solution, which provides flexible
analysis of detailed computer and network inventory," explained
Vladimir Vinogradsky, President and CEO of Alloy Software. "Alloy
Discovery offers the same easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy solution, but
has new powerful enhancements such as support for Windows Vista and
the ability to audit Linux and Mac OS platforms."

Alloy Discovery provides the tools necessary for configuring,
deploying, running audits and analyzing audit results. Available audit
methods include an agent-less on-demand audit, login-script, scheduled
task, and the portable audit for non-networked computers. Another
significant feature is the user-friendly interface which displays
network data in customizable grid format. Alloy Discovery allows users
to print the audit results or export the data to Excel, XML, or HTML
for reporting and publishing purposes.

Adding to the original design, Alloy Discovery includes the
following features:

-- On-Demand Audit - Using this feature, users can remotely audit
Windows workstations and servers for up-to-the-minute hardware
and software information.

-- Linux & Mac Inventory - Users can schedule the audit of Linux
and Mac computers in the form of "cron" jobs, a time-based
scheduling service.

-- Data Analysis & Reporting - Flexible data filtering, grouping
and sorting enables users to conveniently analyze and report
on inventory data; with the point-and-click interface of the
advanced filter, users can create complex filtering criteria
to achieve the desired level of detail.

-- Data Export - Export inventory results to XML or Excel; users
can then easily import the data into all types of databases,
or integrate with third-party tools.

-- Web Publishing - Enables users to access inventory data from
the convenience of a web browser; export audit snapshots in
the form of interactive, drill-down HTML pages, ready for
publishing on an Intranet.

-- Snapshot Pruning - Automatically removes and archives obsolete
audit snapshots from the inventory repository resulting from
computers no longer being audited.

The D-J Group of Companies - an organization specializing in
Machining, Sheet Metal, Assembly, Composite, Extrusions, Hot Forming,
and Engineering - is currently in the process of upgrading its
existing Alloy Network Inventory solution to the new Alloy Discovery
product.

"We originally implemented the Alloy Network Inventory product to
monitor computer hardware and software usage," explained Mike Bursack,
IT Manager at The D-J Group of Companies. "The product is an extremely
useful tool for auditing software usage to see if anything undesirable
has been installed on our system. We're also able to convert the data
to Excel and create any types of reports that we want, making the
product's flexibility one of its best functions. We are excited to
implement the new Alloy Discovery product to take full advantage of
the latest features and functionality."

Alloy Discovery's flexible deployment is a key benefit over many
competitive products. The solution offers multiple configuration
options for its audit agents to support a wide array of deployment
scenarios including single- and multi-domain networks, workgroup
networks, remote (WAN) sites and isolated networks, and standalone
computers. Additional benefits of the product include the ability to
manage inventory changes proactively, streamline inventory reporting,
integrate inventory data with existing systems and processes, improve
the effectiveness of a service desk by facilitating the
troubleshooting of hardware and software issues, and much more.
Available now, Alloy Discovery is priced per audit node. Pricing for
100 computer node license is $795. Additional computer nodes can be
purchased at $3 each. More information regarding Alloy Discovery can
