What Happens When CMDB & Cloud Initiatives Collide?
Date:08/23/2011
Time: 11AM Pacific / 2PM Eastern
EMA research indicates that Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and Configuration Management System (CMS) initiatives become more, not less, relevant for cloud adoptions. On the other hand, “traditional” approaches to CMDB deployments can quickly become self-defeating.
This informative Webinar leverages EMA research, consulting and analysis to help IT executives, managers, architects and planners to better optimize their CMDB/CMS investments in support of cloud-related initiatives.
Join EMA VP of Research Dennis Drogseth and ASG Senior Technical Solution Manager Patrick Wolf for this Webinar that will:
- Deconstruct cloud into workable sets of services and technologies that each have unique requirements vis-à-vis CMDB/CMS systems
- Assess best practices traditionally associated with CMDB and show where they can go wrong
- Examine how CMDB/CMS technologies are changing and how they are becoming more diverse in nature, more dynamic and more adaptable to the requirements of virtualization and cloud
- Provide a list of key recommendations for things to avoid, as well as CMDB/CMS technology and process best practices in the face of growing cloud adoption.
