In most enterprises, the accuracy of inventory (CMDB) is critical for day-2-day operations and any migration or cost optimization efforts. To achieve accuracy, enterprises spend significant money and effort through discovery solutions and data accuracy initiatives. These efforts are good for one-time activity. However, the CMDB data gets stale quickly, and enterprises find it hard to keep it accurate. It gets further complicated with the proliferation of hybrid-cloud solutions, business acquisitions, and more teams running their apps on their cloud accounts or private cloud infrastructures.
We believe fixing data through discovery & manual initiatives is not enough to keep CMDB accurate. Businesses need to simplify how IT assets & config items get provisioned, configured, or deployed and update the inventory (CMDB) in real time as changes are applied. Streamlining real-time updates to CMDB is complex to implement, especially when enterprises have multiple teams with siloed processes. Such as data-center, networking, compute/storage, UC infrastructure, security, identity/access, IaaS, PaaS, databases, integration stacks, application architectures, etc.
The blaZop platform solves this problem through a unique & easy-to-use solution-driven blueprint-based automation experience.
It enables cloud & IT infrastructure teams to build deployable architectures and automate them through easy-to-use orchestration workflows. These orchestration workflows not only update the inventory in real-time but also integrate with any systems used by enterprise teams to manage their own IT/cloud services/resources. Ensuring the real-time update in inventory through provisioning workflows is the only way to keep CMDB inventory up to date.
