Optimized CMDB with Kovair: For unbeatable IT Asset Management
|
|
Kovair has partnered with nSolutions for the discovery of various Assets in the
network and for automatic synchronization of changes in the assets, resulting in
the following benefits:
|
- With a tight integration between the two, discovery, updates and management of assets
become streamlined and automatic.
- Many of the dependency relations between configuration management database items
can be automatically discovered by the discovery service. For example: which software
is running on which server? Which OS is needed to run a particular application?
- Once the Assets are in Kovair through nSolutions’ integrated discovery service,
users can manually create dependency relations between various CMDB items using
the easy drag-and-drop interface.
- Kovair CMDB tightly integrates with other applications in Kovair’s IT Service Management Studio such as Helpdesk/ Service Desk, Incident Management, Problem Management,
Change Management, and Knowledgebase. As a result, linking an asset with a service
request lets the IT service manager know which Assets are involved in the request.

- A change in one Asset can determine whether other Assets are impacted by that change based on the dependency relations.
- With various reports and dashboards, Kovair CMDB helps one keep all the information easily accessible for operational efficiency.
