A CMDB is more than just the data basis for automating your IT processes. It provides access to all the information about your organization and assets that is required as part of audits or for analyzing and monitoring your critical infrastructures.
Auto-Discovery fills your CMDB fully automatically. The integrated monitoring continuously records status information and changes. All objects, their properties and status are thus always up-to-date and centrally available.
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.
The Mapping functionality ensures the unambiguous assignment of data and status information. This makes it possible to connect any sources quickly and flexibly.
With Cloud Asset Discovery, data from the various components of your cloud provider (Azure, Google, AWS, etc.) can be easily read out. The data is stored as CIs in the SmartCMDB according to a defined mapping structure.
The following data or data structures are stored in the smart CMDB by default:
Virtual machines
Size information about CPU, RAM, etc.
Operating system
Storage or hard disk data such as number, size, etc.
Networks
Storage
MSSQL databases
Max. size
Pool membership
Most recent restore date
Docker container
Name of the image used
License of the images, if publicly available
RAM, CPU, etc.
Data about events like image pull, container start, etc.
IP addresses, shared ports, etc.
Kubernetes cluster
Kubernetes version, DNS prefix
Agent pool data such as OS type, max. number of pods, max. disk size, number of availability zones, etc.
Network data
Of course, other available data can also be individually transferred from the cloud to the smart CMDB.
The SmartCMDB has a large number of different Import Connectors. This allows you to use established source systems to quickly and easily build up a database.
The captured data can be combined and correlated as desired to support your business processes in the best possible way.
In addition to the established Import Connectors, REALTECH also creates new connectors, expands existing ones, or customizes existing connectors as needed.
Benefit from automatic discovery of SAP-specific data. All structures of the SAP landscape are completely captured, transferred to the CMDB and maintained there.
Thanks to the simple integration into SAP Solution Manager, the SAP supporter has all infrastructure information at hand – even that which is not available in SolMan by default.
With REALTECH’s CMDB, we are taking our IT Service Management to a new level. At the same time, we have created an essential prerequisite for rapid and efficient digitization.
