Summary

K2 KeyServer is part of the Sassafras KeyServer Platform, which combines hardware and software inventories with purchase histories, usage tracking and software license management. Its client discovers hardware attributes and installed software on Windows, Mac and Linux computers, including virtual machines and thin clients. Hardware lifecycle tracking covers computers, mobile devices, printers and networking devices from order through disposal. The platform records operating-system logins, software launches and defined cloud product usage, and allows organizations to compare usage reports with purchased entitlements. It supports spreadsheet imports, REST API, ODBC, JDBC and JSON exports, plus official integrations with TeamDynamix, ServiceNow and Modo. The REST API is intended for basic querying rather than bulk or heavy-use retrieval. Organizations can run the platform on-premises, and Sassafras also describes its own cloud hosting environment. A single server process supports up to 70,000 Windows, Macintosh and VDI computers. Subscription support includes setup help, technical support and an annual configuration review. Pricing is on request; evaluation copies are available.
