CMDB for free

You can have CMDB for free.


Let's start a thread of open source CMDB offerings (nothing is really "free", right?). Contributions please!...

Lots of good ideas and integration at CMDB.info! especially their ECDB build

GLPI

OCS Inventory

GLPI and OCS as a 'virtual appliance' stack on OpenSuSE - WOW!

CMDB vs Asset Management

Skeptic making the confusion between a CMDB and an Asset Management solution ? How disappointing.

Agree - Dependency Mgt is key

Alas, I must agree. Even v3's Service Asset & Configuration Management goes well beyond traditional asset management. I saw nothing in these links of much interest.

I tend to go back to an article Mr. Betz wrote on Dependency Management: A Fundamental Challenge of IT Governance....while we may not agree on the best solution, there should be no debate on the problem. Tracking critical dependencies in today's n-tier, virtual-ized, multi-sourced service infrastructures is not a trivial task.

Open source or not, the 'CMDB' will never be free.

Delayed April Fool's joke

I think the skep was posting a delayed April Fools joke?

tongue firmly in cheek

I'm slow but not that slow :-D But I did have tongue firmly in cheek. If it is easy it should also be free.

Love the Charles Betz quote - I remember it.
