Well, for switches you could use SNMP for a lot of that.. you'd have to look up the MIBs on cisco's website to find out what fields to query, but most of the hardware, uptime, description info is obtainable through SNMP... you could use the snmp utils for linux to write a script querying a database of IPs.
For windows machines you'll either need to download an SNMP responder or use WMI. Novell has SNMP support as an option as well. MRTG is a great little linux program that supports SNMP querying, monitoring, and statistical analysis. You may wish to give it a try!
