White Paper Excerpt
Configuration management databases (CMDB) have emerged as an important tool for understanding relationships between IT assets and their support for business processes. Centralized federation and reconciliation of disparate asset information promises to optimize processes between critical it disciplines such as operations and security. A CMDB, however, is only as good as the data sources that feed it and far too many CMDBs build on unstable foundations of incomplete, inaccurate and outdated data on configuration status of managed endpoints. The pervasive real-time visibility features incorporated in the BigFix platform provide the single source of truth for CMDB purposes — thorough, continually updated and accurate. BigFix’s open interfaces enable integration of BigFix with other networked enterprise software including CMDB repositories, and help desk applications, to create truly best-of-breed CMDB solutions that can help move it organizations to more advanced stages of operational maturity.
