    <p>This is a bit off topic, but I would suggest looking at options from existing vendors that will meet your overall business requirements. Asset detection and management is not a simple task and creating an in-house application to do it is often a waste of time and money that could be better spent on core business needs or other IT support/resources. Purchasing software from an existing vendor will give you a much better solution than whatever you can code up in a week, a month, or even a year. If you are trying to catalog even a medium sized network with over 100 nodes then using an established system could end up being much cheaper than building your own. Here are a few examples of existing products:</p> <p><a href="http://www.vector-networks.com/components/network-discovery-and-mapping.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.vector-networks.com/components/network-discovery-and-mapping.php</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/track-it-assets.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/track-it-assets.html</a></p> <p>I haven't used either of them, but I have been down a similar route trying to create an in--house server monitoring and management system. We spent two weeks working on a prototype that was eventually scraped for a 3rd-party system that cost $1,000 a year. It would have cost us at least $10,000 to build something with 1/10th the features, let alone support and maintain it. Even just searching for a FOSS solution and then using that as the basis for your project (something like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nmap" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nmap</a>) would be better than starting from scratch.</p> <p>Best of luck!</p>
