Overview
xAssets Cloud Asset Management Software enables organisations to manage and discover their cloud assets
quickly without side effects. The software includes a Service Management Database and an integrated Configuration Management Database (CMDB)
allowing Service Inventory, Hardware Inventory, Dependency Mapping, IT Asset Management, Software Asset Management and Software License Compliance from within
a single browser based application.
This gives a holistic view of all cloud services and cloud assets, and offers the fastest route to a complete cloud inventory.
Large Enterprises benefit from the configuration options and scalability
offered by the software. Complex and unusual requirements can be met, new business functions
can be added via configuration.
Cloud Services represent the services you provide to your customers and internal staff. These are registered in the system
and managed in terms of availability, reliability, ticketing, maintenance and scheduled tasks.
Cloud Assets are the assets and their dependencies deployed in creating each service. Having both services and assets
in the same system allows a comprehensive understanding of dependencies both in terms of assets and providers.
xAssets Cloud Asset Management includes the core Asset Register and the Service Management Interface which ships with all our products.
This Asset Management functionality allows users to manually enter assets, change or
add data to discovered assets, and the configuration layer allows easy changes to
forms and add new data columns.
