Which development Language is best suited to Network Inventory
- by dastardlyandmuttley
Dear stackoverflow
I hope this is the corrcet type of question for stackoverflow to consider
I would like to develop a "Hard Core" application that performs Network Inventory.
High level requirements are
Work on Windows and UNIX networks
it has to be extremly performant
it has to be 100% accuarate
(massively) scalable
and fun to write
The sort of details I am after is manufacturer and versions of all major workstation hardware components such as motherboard, network card, sound card, hard drives, optical drives, memory, BIOS details, operating system information etc.
I dont want to have to distribute a client on each workstation to collect the information although i will require automatic worksattion discovery
I would value your thoughts on the best development language to employ
I know there are products such as NEWT and stuff like nmap...
I would like to do this type of technical programming myself "from scratch"
Warm Regards
DD
