Customised for your needs

CNS comes with two modules, CNS Standard and CNS Best Practices. Dive into the details of the modules here.

CNS Standard

The collector helps you locate existing assets in your infrastructure and provides you with an overview of the assets you possess. The collector gathers detailed information such as vendor, product number, serial number, hostname, IP address, SNMP location, and software version. Data is securely transferred to Conscia and Cisco.

  • Data is filtered to include lifecycle relevant units only
  • Get CNS data integrated with your own business applications
  • Automated Asset management linked to your CMDB
  • Full transparency from the vendor contract center, with daily updates

The CNS Collector & Compare function is a go-to tool to analyse gaps and identify new devices on your Infrastructure. CNS Compare is an excellent tool for identifying critical assets, discovering un-serviced assets, and tailoring the service level strategy that fits your organization’s needs.

  • Compare own data, contract data, and collector data
    Conduct gap analyses & identify assets without service agreements
    Design service strategy by using CNS Compare

As Conscia Customer you can query to get all the latest changes in the install base by date range, or query by serial number to get a specific status. Use the REST API for your own incident process or as an integration solution to your own CMDB.

CNS Best Practices

The Insights module offers PowerBI reports for the Inventory Dashboard, Product Lifecycle Dashboard, and Software Version Dashboard. The Inventory Dashboard provides you with an overview of your assets, their locations, and the agreed-upon SLA for each asset. It enables you to drill down into service level details, site ID information, and product age.

The Product Lifecycle Dashboard displays the projected out-of-service dates for assets, also known as LDoS (Last Date of Support). It offers a breakdown of affected assets across various product families. Additionally, the Product Lifecycle Dashboard includes a migration overview that presents optimal replacement options for current assets along with their prices.

The Software Version Dashboard showcases the software version running on each asset, including a breakdown based on the asset’s product family. This feature allows you to compare your assets’ software versions with Conscia’s recommendations, ensuring your software remains up to date. The Dashboard often plays a pivotal role in driving automation and provisioning strategies and can be utilized to document software alignment progress

Enhance your asset and lifecycle management by gaining an overview of the software versions currently running on assets within your network through the Software Dashboard.

  • Identifying the actual number of running software versions in the network divided into technologies and product families
  • Showing the gap between the running software versions and Conscia’s expert recommendation
  • Get an overview of the software versions you are running on your assets and our expert recommendation
  • Ensure that your assets are running the most optimal software

Get the complete overview of current security vulnerabilities and PSIRTS on your Platform

  • Security vulnerability shows known security vulnerabilities and which assets may be affected and are sourced from multiple sources and validated by Conscia security experts.
  • Implement workarounds based on the information
  • Get an overview of security vulnerabilities on your network
  • View current vulnerabilities, including a severity score, so that you can prioritize
  • Log and track decisions directly in CNS for compliance audits
  • Get an overview of significant issues related to your Cisco assets
