Flexera, the company that helps organizations maximize business value from their technology investments, announces it has significantly expanded the visibility customers can have into IT assets in their environment. Flexera has added the capability for organizations to discover and inventory software they have running in containers—a unique capability for a software asset management vendor in the marketplace.
Many CIOs and IT leaders have indicated that they lack the ability to identify software assets running in containers, a type of operating system virtualization whose use by enterprises is rapidly expanding. A single container contains all the necessary executables, binary code, libraries and configuration files required to run a software program.

Containers increase portability, making it easier to move software programs from one computing environment to another – for example, from a physical machine in the data center to the cloud. But because software running in containers is often isolated from other assets in the IT environment, it’s often difficult for an organization’s IT staff to have visibility into all of their assets running in containers.
