• How do I build a common data model?• How do I automate critical ITIL processes -
configuration, change, problem management?• How do I integrate key IT ops practices – help
desk, system & server management, BSM?• How do I automatically populate my CMDB?• What are the dependencies and relationships?• How do I keep it all up to date & track changes?• How can I do impact analysis – before a change?• How do I get started…fast!

CMDB Needs Driven by Automation GapData Center Consolidation
& Relocation
Flash CMDB Use CaseTime-scale: Short-termNeed: “Temporary” CMDB designed for time-critical, urgent, tactical projectsService Delivery: Flash ADM Audits
Foundational CMDB Use CaseTime scale: Mid-termNeed: Practical CMDB to meet some short-term needs, may evolve into an integrated CMDB, SMB readyProduct Delivery: Foundational ADM Products: ADM, ADM250, ADM Collector
Integrated CMDB Use CaseTime scale: Long-termNeed: Centerpiece of an enterprise ITIL strategyIntegrated Delivery: Integrated ADM Modules, OEM Partners, “Headless” ADM appliance

Overview
Illuminates the “darkness” within applicationsAutomatically discovers and maps applications, relationships,application configurations and changes“Topology” presents app-to-app relationship map
– Data feeds CMDB efforts
Rapid time to value via appliance– Minimal configuration– Intuitive GUI– Appliances represent an EMC Smarts trend

CMDB Dashboards & AnalyticsMaximize Value of CMDB Data Across Your Organization
CMDB Dashboards provide a quick status of the CMDB environment using graphs, charts and tables that show:– Summary discovery information listing what’s discovered and available in the EMC | nLayers ADM CMDB such as
routers, switches, hosts, applications, services and dependencies.– Changes that have occurred in the application infrastructure environment over time– Operating System and Application Distribution charts

Summary: BenefitsStep up from inventory management to dependency mapping
– Understand how things relate– Bridge & unify silos
Eliminate manual processes through process automation– Ensure accuracy, find the truth– Authoritative real-time CMDB, system of record
Accelerate data center consolidation projects– Identify app dependencies and server move groups– No agents required, drop-and-go appliance
Move from off-line to real-time– Incident management, change management, impact analysis– Real-time is mandatory!
Build a foundation for the future– Apps are getting componentized (web services)– More complex, more moving parts, more virtualized– CMDB population
