A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is a database that stores all the information related to your company's IT infrastructure. This includes hardware, software, applications, contracts, users, and the relationships between them.

It can also capture information such as configurations or baselines, making it easier for agents to track changes in that environment.

There are many uses for an ITIL CMDB, but the most popular ones include:

  • Illustrating a service, the offices' infrastructure, teamwork, a server or key software framework, or the best CI type that suits you.
  • Helping in Change Management processes since it allows you to see the assets that can be potentially affected by any change.
  • Assisting you with Incident Management since you have all the change logs and updates registered on InvGate Insight.
