What is the CMDB?

The Configuration Management Database provides the capability to keep track of assets such as products, systems, software, facilities, responsible people as they exist at specific points in time, and the relationship between all assets.

ASU uses the CMDB for centralized inventory of assets including, High and Medium criticality systems, GDPR, and change management processes.
