Hardware Asset Management with Raynet One – Efficient, Secure, and Automated
Hardware Asset Management (HAM) refers to the recording, management, and optimization of all physical IT devices throughout their entire lifecycle – from procurement and maintenance to support and decommissioning.
The Key Benefits of Hardware Asset Management with Raynet One
Reducing Risks and Costs with Automated Hardware Asset Management
Modern Hardware Asset Management (HAM) is the foundation for secure, efficient, and future-proof IT environments. With Raynet One, you can record, assess, and optimize all hardware components – from laptops and servers to network devices, IoT devices, and peripherals – fully automated and regardless of location or age.
Especially in times of distributed endpoints, many companies reach their limits: without centralized control, the risk of cost explosions, compliance violations, and security gaps increases. Raynet One closes this gap by automatically managing the entire hardware asset lifecycle – from procurement and deployment to usage, maintenance, and decommissioning. The Raynet Technology Catalog, with daily updated data, ensures maximum transparency and prevents technical debt.
With intelligent Hardware Asset Management automation powered by Raynet One:
Reduce IT costs – through optimized usage, maintenance, and procurement
Minimize downtime – with timely lifecycle management
Ensure compliance – with complete transparency and up-to-date lifecycle data in line with industry standards
Gain agility – with a flexible, future-proof IT foundation for endpoint management and IoT integration
Maximize the Value of Your Hardware Assets with Intelligent Lifecycle Management
Optimize Lifecycle Management
Accompany the entire hardware asset lifecycle – from procurement through usage and maintenance to decommissioning. This reduces downtime and ensures timely replacement of hardware before risks arise.
Ensure Compliance & Standards
Meet common compliance standards such as ISO or BSI, reduce security risks, and avoid costly data breaches through complete transparency across your endpoints.
Increase IT Efficiency
Optimize the procurement, usage, and disposal of hardware, including IoT integration. This helps you avoid unnecessary expenses and creates a reliable data foundation for strategic IT decisions.
Proactively Enhance IT Security
Continuously monitor the End-of-Life and End-of-Support status of your hardware. With proactive endpoint management, you can close security gaps before they become a risk.
Successful IT Asset Management: METRO AG Achieves Full Transparency with Raynet One
In a global IT Asset Management (ITAM) project, METRO AG successfully relied on the Raynet Unified Data Platform and USU License Management. The result: complete transparency over its complex, decentralized IT infrastructure.
Thanks to the centralized data foundation, METRO AG was able to sustainably optimize its entire hardware and software portfolio, ensure compliance, and reduce IT costs in the long term – a milestone for efficient and future-proof Hardware Asset Management.
Customers empowered by Raynet technologies
Transparency Across the Entire Hardware Asset Lifecycle with Raynet One
Modern Hardware Asset Management (HAM) monitors the complete lifecycle of your IT hardware – from procurement through deployment and usage to maintenance and decommissioning. With Raynet One, you have every phase under control: fully automated, reliable, and transparent – from the very first day of operation.
Thanks to integrated True IT Visibility, you can precisely analyze all relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and receive real-time information on location, usage, support status, and replacement needs of your devices. This helps you avoid unplanned outages, reduce costs, and make informed decisions for your IT strategy.
The intelligent Raynet One Technology Catalog automatically enriches your data with lifecycle information and provides proactive alerts for End-of-Life (EOL) or End-of-Support (EOS). This not only increases your operational security and compliance but also establishes the foundation for a sustainable and future-proof IT infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hardware Asset Management
What is Hardware Asset Management?
Hardware Asset Management (HAM) includes the recording, management, and optimization of all physical IT devices throughout their entire lifecycle. The goal is to create transparency, reduce costs, and ensure operational security.
Why is Hardware Asset Management important for companies?
Without structured Hardware Asset Management, companies risk cost explosions, shadow IT, and security gaps. With a centralized overview of all devices, businesses can avoid risks and increase IT efficiency.
What advantages does Raynet One offer in Hardware Asset Management?
Raynet One automates hardware discovery, integrates data from the Raynet Technology Catalog, and monitors lifecycles in real time. This gives companies transparency, compliance assurance, and a solid foundation for decision-making.
How does Hardware Asset Management support cost control?
By analyzing usage, maintenance status, and lifecycles, companies can phase out redundant hardware, optimize procurement, and reduce support costs. The result: measurable reduction in IT expenses.
Who particularly benefits from Hardware Asset Management?
CIOs, IT administrators, and compliance officers managing complex hardware landscapes benefit the most. They require a centralized overview to manage risks and align IT infrastructure for the future.
How quickly can Hardware Asset Management be implemented with Raynet One?
With Raynet One, companies receive an initial overview of their hardware portfolio within minutes. The solution is ready to use immediately, scalable, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT systems.
