|  System Event Orchestration | |
|
A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is a repository of the authorized configuration of the significant components of an IT environment. Sometimes called Asset or Inventory Management, CMDB stems from ITIL, a set of best-practices for IT service management that focuses on aligning IT with the needs of the business. CFEngine Nova uses its dynamic knowledge map and reports as a CMDB. |
Are you managing thousands of machines under strict SLAs? You can use CFEngine to orchestrate your operations with great precision, using combinations of hardware, software and time/date properties. For instance, this allows systemwide upgrades without overloading the system or impacting its stability. |
