The Hardware Overview report provides a high-level view of device lifecycle, supportability, and warranty status across your environment. This report helps IT teams identify aging hardware, monitor device warranty coverage, and prioritize refresh initiatives based on hardware age and support status.
Lifecycle & Supportability
The Lifecycle & Supportability section provides insight into the age and longevity of hardware assets within the organization.
By CPU Manufacturer
Displays the distribution of devices grouped by CPU manufacturer, including Intel, AMD, and other processor vendors.
Devices are categorized based on processor age:
- Released < 3 years ago – Modern hardware with the longest expected support lifecycle.
- Released 3–5 years ago – Mid-life hardware that may require future refresh planning.
- Released > 5 years ago – Older hardware that may be approaching end-of-life, reduced performance expectations, or limited vendor support.
This view helps organizations understand the overall health and age profile of their device fleet.
CPU Age Distribution
Provides an overall breakdown of device counts based on CPU age.
This visualization helps identify:
- The percentage of devices using modern hardware.
- Older devices that may require replacement planning.
- Opportunities to improve performance, security, and supportability through hardware refresh initiatives.
Warranty
The Warranty section summarizes warranty coverage across discovered devices, helping organizations proactively manage hardware support and replacement planning.
