About
The Configuration Management Database (CMDB)
A CMDB offers comprehensive possibilities to record all components of the mission-critical data center infrastructure in the company: technical details, connections and spatial location are just as much a part of it as users, licenses, contracts, maintenance windows. These can be servers, switches, racks, network and telephony components or employee devices such as PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, but also business applications or cloud services used.
The CMDB von i-doit shows all components with their mutual relationships within the data center landscape, visualizes them and displays them according to different criteria at the click of a mouse. IT administrators gain an overview of their entire data center infrastructure in a flash.

How you benefit from systematic IT documentation
IT managers gain an overview of their data center infrastructure, which greatly supports far-sighted and strategic IT management in times of increasing digitalization and brings quantifiable benefits:
You can see where hardware or license purchases can be bundled and negotiate better terms.
You can better plan updates and maintenance procedures because dependencies within your data center infrastructure become visible and show which infrastructure or company areas may be affected.
See how different IT services are really being used and optimize license management and maintenance contracts.
You gain a reliable basis for resilient risk analyses if you want or need to conduct systematic risk management for legal or business reasons.
About
Configuration Management System (CMS)
Large organizations often deploy many distributed CMDBs. The reason most often given for this is the lack of technical specialization of CMDBs. Assets are very different, once you move above the boundary of virtual machines, servers and operating systems. Industry applications and assets have their own characteristics. The generic architecture of i-doit enables the mapping of industry blueprints on the one hand and the merging of multiple CMDBs into a higher-level CMS (Configuration Management System) on the other.

IT documentation
Systematic IT documentation and its many advantages
IT documentation still happens rather sporadically in many companies: Existing infrastructure components are entered manually in various Excel lists, which then function as inventory lists but are of little use beyond that. No wonder, then, that this type of IT documentation is often perceived as a chore by IT managers.
However, those who approach IT documentation systematically with the help of a comprehensive CMDB benefit from many advantages: It creates the best conditions for optimizing purchasing and license management, increasing data security and analyzing risks in the company in a reliable manner.

How IT documentation supports IT service management
The central IT documentation of systems in the data center gives IT administrators a precise overview of the status and relationships of various aspects in their IT landscape.
