Flexera's Data Platform

Gain insight into your technology environment

Poor IT asset data leads to poor decisions—across your CMDB, when updating or retiring end-of-life (EOL) software and hardware and while mitigating vulnerabilities. Organizations open themselves up to risk when their teams can’t agree on which applications will be nearing EOL in the next six months.

Visualize comprehensive details on all your technology investments for better decision making. Draw on the consistently updated and curated content library of Technopedia, including details on 5+ million products with more than 250 million data points of timely, relevant product and market intelligence.

A CMDB is a core repository that serves as a data silo in an organization, keeping all the information about the company’s IT environment. This database is purposely built to manage configuration. A CMDB offers you a central place to store data related to your IT infrastructure and configuration assets. Learn more

The main difference between ITAM and CMDB is their purpose–ITAM is designed to monitor the procurement, implementation, maintenance and disposal of your IT assets, while CMDB monitors the characteristics, associations and dependencies of configuration items, giving you a picture of the effect of variations and occurrences across your IT infrastructure.

While both terms indicate phases where support diminishes for a product, they have distinct meanings:

  • End of life (EOL) is the date after which a product will no longer be sold or renewed. However, it might still receive some form of support, such as security patches.
  • End of support (EOS) is the date that marks the complete cessation of all support services for the product. After this date, no new patches, updates or fixes will be released, even for critical vulnerabilities.
