Overview

A unique CMDB

No knowledge of database modeling is required to use OneCMDB.

OneCMDB abstracts the CMDB designer from how Configuration Items are stored. The designer can then focus on the organization of the configuration objects and their attributes and relations rather than on SQL queries and their corresponding C/C++/Java code. Configuration items, attributes, relations etc. are managed via a Graphical User Interface. Design and maintenance of the CMDB is eased by the use of templates and an object oriented approach. Finally, the structure of the CMDB can easily be expended and modified at a later stage, even when it is in production.

OneCMDB is composed of a back-end server part (OneCMDB Core) and a web based user interface (OneCMDB GUI). The user interface has a Browser and a Designer mode. The Browser mode allows users to view, search, navigate and present Configuration Items. The Design mode allows the designers to manage the CMDB's data model.

OneCMDB has open API:s that make it easy to be use by other applications like Service Desk and Change Management. As a developer, OneCMDB allows you to concentrate on pure and clean OOP development, rather than having to think about database interfaces and SQL.
