What Device42 is

Device42 is a self-hosted platform for discovering and managing assets across data center, cloud, and hybrid IT environments. Its scope brings together CMDB, DCIM, ITAM, IPAM, password management, and application dependency mapping. It can find network devices through SNMP and discover cloud resources across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and OpenStack. For data center management, teams can model buildings, rooms, racks, cabling, and patch panels, then view layouts and power and temperature heat maps.

The Core license includes discovery, inventory and asset management, integrations, REST APIs and webhooks, warranty and SSL certificate management, cable and password management, and IPAM. Device42 also tracks software licenses, contracts, and barcodes. The company lists more than 30 integrations, including Freshservice, Jira, ServiceNow, Puppet, Splunk, and Zapier. Licensing counts devices with IP addresses; non-IP assets do not count, and user seats are unlimited. If the licensed device count is exceeded, the product continues running but stops pulling in additional information until the license is increased. Subscriptions include updates and remote support. Device42 is made by Device42, headquartered in San Mateo, California, and supports Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and API platforms.
