Automation Solution for CMDB Population

For anyone who has a CMDB or is considering implementing a CMDB product the biggest challenge they face is not which product to buy but how am I going to populate the CMDB and insure the data it holds is current? Traditionally there have been two approaches to solving this thorny issue; manual population which requires significant manpower and the data accuracy is only as good last time it was updated or via Asset Discovery engines which are costly to buy and take significant effort to deploy and you a lot of data entered into the CMDB you do not actually need. Our CMDB Population Solution uses the Asset data discovered by your Enterprise Management tools to populate your CMDB. The solution automatically discovers a range of common Asset data points and then you can configure the solution to populate your CMDB with any additional data you want and none of the data you don’t. This insures the data in your CMDB is current, you only gather the data you want and you avoid the cost and time required to implement an Asset Discovery engine.
