Update Overview

• As part of our effort to expand application dependency analysis for our customers, Device42 v17.02.00 includes enhancements to our Business Application functionality and editing canvas. v17.02.00 also includes updates to storage array and SNMP discovery, licensing details, Advanced Reporting, the Device42 main appliance OS, and multiple bug fixes.

Business Applications and Application Components
