Gartner Analyst Report: CMDB or Configuration Database

Gartner Analyst Report: CMDB or Configuration Database - Know the Difference
Monday, 18th December 2006

Published by:

Not all configuration repositories are configuration management databases. A CMDB is a special-case database that must have four critical functions which distinguish the CMDB from other tools. Often the tools marketed as CMDBs do not have all four of these critical functions - reconciliation, federation, mapping and visualization, and synchronization ch will require significant human resources to build them in.

With all vendors offering a configuration management database strategy and few offering true CMDB capability, it is critical to know the difference between a CMDB and a configuration database.
