The CMDB Is Dead – Long Live the CMDBCategory: Software, Business, Data, firewall, automation, artificial-intelligence
By Mark Hillyard on August 21, 2020Leave a Comment Many enterprise IT organizations have a configuration management database, or CMDB, in place. These systems are important for overall configuration management, governance and DevOps coordination.
In this article, we talk about the past and current role of the CMDB, how it is evolving and how integrating it with other IT operations systems can modernize infrastructure monitoring and configuration management.
Newer IT operations management (ITOM) technologies that incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning (AIOps) to automate the discovery of assets and topology mapping can bring the CMDB into the modern age.
By integrating the CMDB with modern IT operations monitoring, management and automation systems, IT operations teams can finally have a reliable repository of data on all of the company’s on-premises assets and multi-cloud resources, while also gaining the ability to automate manual tasks that impair productivity and eventually remediate where appropriate with the right approach to AI and machine learning.
