Network topology visualization
Understanding your network topology requires more than a flat inventory list. MemoryJar lets you build a visual map of your infrastructure as a graph of typed entities — servers, switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, storage arrays, and cloud instances — connected by network relationships. Import Nmap scan data to automatically create host and service nodes, then layer on the logical relationships that automated discovery tools miss: application dependencies, data flows, failover paths, and management plane connections. The graph view makes it immediately apparent which systems are critical path, which are isolated, and where single points of failure exist. Each node carries rich-text notes for configuration details, maintenance windows, and operational procedures.
Configuration item dependency mapping
ITIL configuration management demands understanding the relationships between configuration items — but traditional CMDBs store these relationships in tables that make traversal painful. MemoryJar puts CI relationships in a traversable graph. Create typed nodes for hardware, software, services, and business processes. Map the dependencies between them with labeled edges — runs on, depends on, interfaces with, backed by. The graph view lets you click any CI and immediately see its full dependency chain — upstream services, downstream consumers, supporting infrastructure, and dependent business processes. This makes change impact analysis intuitive: before taking a server offline for maintenance, visually trace every service and business process that depends on it.
License tracking and vendor management
Software license compliance requires tracking which licenses cover which installations on which hardware. MemoryJar lets you map the relationships between vendors, license agreements, software products, and the hardware they run on. Create vendor nodes linked to their contracts and products, then link products to the specific hosts where they are installed. The graph reveals license gaps (installations without coverage), over-provisioning (more licenses than installations), and vendor consolidation opportunities. Attach rich-text notes documenting contract terms, renewal dates, pricing, and support contacts to each vendor and license node. The outline view provides a traditional hierarchical inventory that compliance auditors expect.
Portable and importable
IT teams need tools that work in the environments they manage — including secured networks, data centers, and air-gapped environments. MemoryJar runs as a portable executable with no installation or internet dependency. Import Nmap scans to bootstrap your asset inventory, then enrich with manual documentation. For distributed IT teams, the LAN collaboration mode enables shared infrastructure maps without cloud dependency. Export your asset graph as JSON for integration with monitoring tools, ticketing systems, or enterprise CMDBs. The portable format means you can carry your infrastructure documentation on a USB drive — useful for data center visits, disaster recovery sites, and environments where cloud tools are unavailable.
