OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB

OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB can be deployed via SaaS, public or private cloud, or on premises to meet your technical, regulatory, or business requirements.

You can use OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB to deliver better IT discovery data without replacing existing CMDBs that may be tightly integrated with the ITSM or ITAM tools you use.

No, but one should be designated as the authoritative source for configuration information. Most enterprise organizations running three or more CMDB solutions report higher levels of general satisfaction and better cost-to-value ratios, according to a recent survey on the topic.

Currently we support GenAI configuration item summaries through OpenText™ Service Management Aviator™ and smart software analytics to improve software recognition by OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB. Forthcoming releases will have even more AI innovations to make configuration management easier.

OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB can handle the world’s largest enterprise IT environments. It can capture up to 200,000 servers or desktops with up to 200 million CIs per instance depending on storage used.

OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB is one of the most customizable CMDBs around. You can easily extend CI types and attributes to match business requirements. And all discovery commands are visible and can be modified as needed.

Recommended technical requirements to deploy our solution vary on the deployment model used and IT environment size. A small on-premises deployment generally consists of a server to run the discovery probe, a server to run the CMDB software, and access to a database.

It discovers servers, network and storage devices, desktops, laptops, virtual machines, containers, and cloud services from AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. It also identifies 140,000+ software titles across on-premises and multicloud environments, either by a schedule or in real time.
