OpenLM SAM Annapurna—what’s new?
Microservices-based architecture
The previous version of OpenLM SLM was a monolithic license management solution, with all license management functionalities contained in a single product. As a result, if there was an issue, it would affect the entire system and may lead to further complications.
However, in OpenLM SAM Annapurna, key features of software asset management are available as independent microservices. As a result, now you can resolve issues appearing in one product without affecting the other. Also, with this, you can get support for a large number of Agents and users in OpenLM SAM without any complication.
Unlimited scalability with Docker and Kubernetes
As software asset environments differ across organizations, a one-way-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to effective asset management.
That’s why OpenLM SAM features integration with Docker and Kubernetes. As a result, we can deploy services on customer nodes and automate number of instances based on exact requirements.
Next-generation Agent functionalities
We also upgraded OpenLM Agent to significantly improve its monitoring capabilities. Now, it can monitor processes and website activities.
The capability of monitoring USB device use was already there. However, with the Annapurna functionalities, now OpenLM SAM can track offline usage of the dongle too—once it is reconnected to the OpenLM system.
BI-powered granular reporting
No more straining your eyes and testing your patience in browsing Excel sheets. With visually appealing graphs, OpenLM SAM makes it simple to understand OpenLM Reports at one glance—no technical skills required.
Enjoy limitless reporting capabilities with OpenLM with premium BI tools such as PowerBI, Grafana and Quicksight.
Advanced user experience (UX) for enhanced navigation
With OpenLM SAM, our UX has become smarter. In this version, we have introduced the following:
- Onboarding tutorials: New users will find onboarding tutorials for every microservice they have subscribed to. These tutorials feature the main purposes of individual services and their functionalities.
- Intelligent navigation system: Users can navigate between multiple services in just one click.
