Frequently asked questions
IT visibility is the ability to have a comprehensive, real-time insight into your entire IT estate. This encompasses everything from traditional on-premises hardware and software to cloud-based services, applications and the vast array of interconnected devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT). For more information, see our glossary here.
A CMDB is a core repository that serves as a data silo in your organization, keeping all the information about your company’s IT environment. This database is purposely built to manage configuration. A CMDB offers you a central place to store data related to your IT infrastructure and configuration assets. Learn more here.
The main difference between ITAM and a CMDB is their purpose. ITAM is designed to monitor the procurement, implementation, maintenance and disposal of your IT assets, while a CMDB monitors the characteristics, associations and dependencies of configuration items, giving you a clear picture of the effect of variations and occurrences across your IT infrastructure. Learn more here.
While both terms indicate phases where support diminishes for a product, they have distinct meanings:
- End of life (EOL): This is the date after which a product will no longer be sold or renewed. However, it might still receive some form of support, such as security patches
- End of support (EOS): This date marks the complete cessation of all support services for the product. After this date, no new patches, updates or fixes will be released, even for critical vulnerabilities
