A CMDB (Configuration Management Database) is a repository that records IT and infrastructure assets, called configuration items, and the relationships and dependencies between them. In data centers it underpins change, incident and capacity management by providing an authoritative view of what exists, how components connect and how a change to one item may affect others.
