Simply Powerful by Design™

 
Without doubt, one of the greatest challenges faced by the Information Technology Industry is "complexity". Complexity introduces failure points and causes delays in the implementation, maintenance and repair of infrastructure and services. Complexity increases the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and reduces agility. This is where Hammer Software’s design principle comes in. "Simply Powerful by Design" is a carefully considered methodology developed in response to the problem of complexity. It is Hammer Software's guiding light.
 
The outcomes promised by our software are easily demonstrable and the cost of ownership is small in comparison to the cost savings provided. Our software is designed to add administrative flexibility to networks without increasing complexity. In fact, we aim to reduce the complexity of supporting IT systems by providing tools that are relevant, uncluttered and intuitive. In addition our software is designed to be implemented without the disruption caused by software interdependence issues. In short, our software is "Simply Powerful by Design™"

Using MetaLAN in Server Mode
 
MetaLAN™ can run as a standalone application. However, using ProbeServer will reduce and distribute the network load required for data collection. ProbeServer offers a central location for the collection and distribution of the data collected from the computers on the network. Best of all, ProbeServer is free when you buy MetaLAN.
