Benefits of our CMDB solution

A powerful CMDB such as SmartCMDB offers companies significant benefits in terms of successful digitization and automation of central service processes. The CMDB collects relevant information in a central location and thus forms a single source of truth. This provides a comprehensive overview of the entire IT infrastructure.

Thanks to integrated auto-discovery, you benefit from automatic, precise detection of your IT environment without any manual effort. Continuous monitoring also allows you to keep an eye on your IT components at all times and react quickly to changes.

Auto-Discovery Monitoring

Fast implementation

Single Point of Truth

SaaS, on-premises, private cloud

Audit-proof documentation

IT assets captured automatically

Auto-Discovery

With auto-discovery, your SmartCMDB is filled fully automatically, quickly and easily. The integrated monitoring continuously records status information and changes. All infrastructure objects (hardware and software), their properties and status are thus always up-to-date and centrally available.

SmartCMDB Auto-Discovery

Seamless data integration

Import Connectors

SmartCMDB has many different import connectors available. This allows you to use established source systems to quickly and easily extend the infrastructure database with additional information (people, contracts, processes, assets, roles and rights, etc.). This significantly reduces the time required to go live with the CMDB.

Keeping an eye on CIs

Baselining

With the sophisticated baseline functionality, you can detect and correct deviations from the standard very quickly.

Configuration baselining is one of the most important concepts of a CMDB. Policies related to configuration items (CIs), their attributes, relations, attachments, etc. allow the definition of precise target states.

Landscape Discovery for SAP - Set-up

SAP-compatible

CMDB tool with SAP integration

With the Landscape Discovery for SAP, you gather all important parameters of your SAP landscape in one central system. After one-time installation of SmartCMDB, you can continuously read out the parameters of your SAP systems. You have all important information available in one place and always up to date. SmartCMDB can also be connected to SAP Solution Manager if this is used as an ITSM tool.

Single Point of Truth for your IT Operations

Monitoring
Monitoring enables continuous overview of your IT infrastructure in real time. Monitoring functions allow you to track the status and performance of your IT resources transparently. This gives you important insights into the performance of your systems and enables you to identify potential problems at an early stage. With user-defined alerting, you always stay informed about critical events, which leads to improved availability and reliability of your IT services.

Business Intelligence

The direct connection to common BI systems (e.g.: MS PowerBI or SAP Analytic Cloud) enables efficient reporting and simple analysis based on current data. Additionally, SmartCMDB offers a variety of pre-built reports, based on best practices, in its standard version as well as within the MS Power BI connection.

Efficient reporting and simple analysis

Cloud Asset Discovery

The Cloud Asset Discovery can easily extract data from the various components of your cloud provider (Azure, Google, AWS, etc.). The data is stored as CIs in the SmartCMDB according to a defined mapping structure.

Cloud assets

Seamlessly integrate cloud resources

Mapping

The Mapping functionality ensures the unambiguous assignment of data and status information. This makes it possible to connect any source quickly and flexibly.

ITSM Integration

The REALTECH CMDB allows easy integration with ITSM systems such as ServiceNow or Jira. This helps to understand service requests faster and leads to better planning and control of processes. In addition to the connection to ITSM systems, technical and commercial information from third-party systems can be merged in the Smart CMDB.

Graphical relations overview

In REALTECH SmartCMDB, all objects are created as CIs (Configuration Items). This allows to relate all database objects (e.g. hardware, persons, tickets) with their relations to each other. This makes often hidden or complicated relationships visible at a glance.

The Dependency Walk Technique provides a detailed understanding of the relationships between configuration items. It allows to jump from one object to another, and thus to examine the relationships between them. By displaying only the required information, users can save time while gaining an accurate understanding of the dependencies between CIs.

Technical objects (e.g. from monitoring) can be displayed as part of an IT service as an image in the actual state. This makes it possible, for example, to immediately identify whether a technical incident has an impact on associated services and processes, and vice versa, why certain services are disrupted.

Flexible Data Model

Flexible structure
The data organization of SmartCMDB is very flexible. All objects in the database represent CIs (Configuration Items). This highly flexible data model allows all CIs (e.g. hardware, persons, tickets, etc.) with their attributes and relations to be related to each other as desired.

Customizable
SmartCMDB can be individually adapted to your structures by freely defining the CI types and their attributes. Since the CMDB data basis is available in normalized form, it is particularly easy to build individual CMDB structures.

Clear hierarchies inheritance concepts
SmartCMDB also contains ready-made hierarchies for standard contexts (e.g. hardware, software, etc.). These are “ready-to-use”, can be modified or even discarded. Intelligent inheritance concepts, an extensive authorization system and consistent lifecycle models greatly simplify the construction and operation of the SmartCMDB.

Normalization of Infrastructure Data

The CMDB normalizes or standardizes all infrastructure data that is scanned and captured by Auto-Discovery. Thus, data and information of a heterogeneous IT infrastructure data can be compared and evaluated immediately.

Standardize data from different sources

No-Code Design

The CMDB tool has an integrated workflow engine for automating processes and standardizing tasks via drag-and-drop.

FAQs: CMDB Software

A CMDB is a data pool that stores all information about the configuration of elements within an organization. IT and specialist departments usually determine exactly what should flow into the CMDB database.

The following objects i.e. their respective records can be stored in a CMDB:

  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Systems
  • Facilities/Locations/Branches
  • Employees
  • Contracts
  • and many more.

Once imported into the Configuration Management Database, the configuration data is correlated and interdependent.

A CMDB contains a set of data or elements. These elements are called Configuration Items (CIs). As defined in ITIL 4, CIs are “all components that need to be managed in order to provide an IT service”.

The purpose of a CMDB is to identify, create, provision, monitor, and provide intelligence on assets, CIs, and services for business management and to improve service quality for all users. This saves time and resources when managing a large number of service processes and workflows in the company.
