The basis for efficient BSM is what is known as a Configuration Management Database (CMDB). The integrated CMDB in the Valuemation Asset/CMDB Manager is where all the details about individual IT components (configuration items) are stored, including their relationships and dependencies with each other. The CMDB depicts your IT infrastructure in many different views (technical, business and process-oriented). It shows you the following helpful configuration information:
Dependencies between individual components
