Ask HN: How do you keep track of the hardware and software used in your company?
For companies that have over 100 servers (for example), do you use software to track the servers and their relation to a product or service? I'm not referring to desktops and applications, but somewhere where you can manage that the finance system consists of these 12 servers, 2 web services and this software. In ITIL 3, this was a CMDB (Configuration Management Database). For 'enterprise', there are solutions from Service Now, BMC and IBM. But these are very complex and very expensive. What are some solutions for small to medium companies that can't justify using enterprise software for this? 3 comments on Hacker News.
