Chapter 15

The CMDB System Moves to Cloud and Beyond!

Abstract

Like the Three-Tiered Roadmap, this chapter looks both backward and forward, but from a different vantage point and with a much stronger emphasis on looking forward. We begin by providing insights from other deployments after the first 12 months—a tipping point when the CMDB System should have already begun to show real value to a wide variety of stakeholders. We then examine some timely research addressing the CMDB System opportunities for expansion and growth. These include Service-Aware Asset Management, business service delivery across the cloud, analytics, and DevOps.
