Tanium - What is Tanium?
Every day, thousands of questions are being asked about the state of the computers in your enterprise. Examples include:
- Which users are running Excel on computers in the Finance department right now
- What is the current CPU consumption of servers in the Primary Render Grid
- What are the Network Duplex settings for computers that are laptops and are using a wired connection in EMEA
- What are the MAC Addresses of computers in Tokyo that are generating network traffic on port 18234
Thousands of other similar questions provide the data necessary to make change management, audit, software licensing, and countless other decisions. Unfortunately, the process of getting real-time answers for questions like those off of thousands of computers isn't easy with incumbent systems management tools. As a result, many administrators are forced to guess or work around the clock to get a handle on the answers, and the enterprise suffers.
Tanium provides a simple interface that allows you to ask those types of questions in plain English, hit a button, and get real-time answers back from up to hundreds of thousands of computers, in seconds. Take a look at our demos for more information.
