Systems, devices, and methods for software discovery using application ID tags

Abstract:

Provided herein are methodologies, systems, and devices for facilitating software discovery within a server environment using an enterprise-specific application identifier tag file. Such enterprise-specific application identifier tag files can be created for applications from various vendors and can include enterprise-specific information not known to an application vendor. Once created, the enterprise-specific application identifier tag file is deployed within the server environment, and may be saved on a database associated with the server environment. The application identifier tag files can include a link to their corresponding application files and can facilitate in application/software discovery by allowing a user to determine application information by performing an enterprise-specific application identifier tag file query.
