Using Cloudaware CMDB, customers can aggregate data from Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, on-prem and 50+ additional 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 different systems. For example, the operating system version was detected using the 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, scanned, or patched. By connecting to multiple systems, Cloudaware is able to cross-reference data from multiple systems in real-time, detect gaps in IT management and provide an 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 cloud accounts at once. Public Cloud support centers with 100+ AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud accounts make this an indispensable feature.

True Visibility

Any monitoring system can tell you what it monitors but can it tell you what it does not monitor? Cloudaware CMDB queries multiple systems and uses algorithms to cross-reference servers in AWS, Azure, GCP and other systems by name, IP address, MAC address and other attributes. CMDB will show you what is not monitored, backed up or connected to IDS.
