CMDB - Overview
Using Cloudaware CMDB customers can aggregate data from Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and other 50 other source types into a single management pane:

The diagram shows a server in CMDB which has been discovered in AWS, however other bits of data have been imported using Cloudaware custom collectors from other systems. For example, operating system version was detected using a factor library, IDS status was pulled in via API collector for IDS.
Why Real-Time CMDB Is Necessary
Cloudaware CMDB focuses on discovering negative information such as looking for servers that are not monitored, backed up or secured. By connecting into multiple systems, Cloudaware is able to cross-reference data from multiple systems in real-time and detect gaps in IT management and provide accurate end-to-end view across multiple layers.
Multi-Cloud, Multi-Regional Search
With Cloudaware CMDB customers can quickly find objects such as instances, load balancers or security groups by searching across all regions and hundreds of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud accounts at once. Public Cloud support centers with 100+ AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud accounts make this an indispensable feature
