Check out Sysinfo from 

https://www.magnicomp.com/cgi-bin/mcpricing.cgi/Action=ListPricing

It isn't *free* but it is reasonable at $12 USD per system.  For 30
machines you are looking at about $360.  They have a 60 day evaluation
available.

I use a commercial network inventory program called TSCensus from Tally
Systems and they licensed and distribute Sysinfo with TSCensus to
inventory Unix and Linux systems.
