Configuration Management Database Software (CMDB)
Gain deeper insight into critical IT infrastructure and take full control over your IT Assets, services, and resources with CMDB Software.
What is Alloy CMDB and
why is it important?
Knowing your IT infrastructure is not enough. To make informed decisions, you need to understand the relationship between all components of your IT system and be able to track their relations in real-time. ITIL framework calls these IT components “configuration items” (CIs) and suggests maintaining the information about them in a Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
A CMDB software stores not only the details of your CIs but also every detail about their physical and logical dependencies. This helps predict the scope and impact of changes and improve both the quality of your IT services and the performance of your IT infrastructure.
Visualize complex CMDB data and make informed IT decisions
- Understanding the relationships between key resources, technological elements, and business operations will help you make better decisions.
- By focusing on specific configuration items (CIs), you can use relationships to assess their impact on business operations and estimate the risks before making any changes
- By having a complete history of related incidents, assessing the health of CIs becomes quicker and more efficient. This can aid in planning IT activities that affect those CIs directly or indirectly.
- Detailed reports provide stakeholders with precise information about critical assets. These reports break down data by organization, location, type, owner, and other parameters.
