The Future of CMDBs: What Does ITIL Version 3 and the New Federated Universe Really Mean?
Abstract: Both the ITIL Version 3's Configuration Management System (CMS) and Enterprise Management Associates’ more architecturally-oriented CMDB System (CMDBS) envision a future in which CMDBs will become a federated or linked set of services optimized for various constituencies across IT. As this vision becomes reality, it will promote optimal levels of technology innovation, incorporation of existing data repositories and systems, and process automation across the various groups within IT, as well as between IT and the businesses it serves. Fortunately, you need not implement a CMS in a single step; it is best done as part of a phased evolution moving from dependency mapping to CMDB to CMS. Join EMA VP Dennis Drogseth and HP Product Marketing Director Mahesh Kumar for this groundbreaking Webinar to learn: * What are the requirements of a Configuration Management System * How do ITIL’s CMS and the EMA CMDBS differ from traditional approaches to CMDBs * Ways to accelerate your deployment using automated dependency mapping * The practical approach to federating with existing data repositories You’ll also learn how HP is approaching ITIL V3's CMS definition through dependency mapping and actionable federation that you can apply in a phased approach to your organization. Please note: This is a sponsored Webinar and EMA shares registration information with the event sponsor. |
