Any recommendations for CMDB software on the cheap? Building out nodes at a few commercial co-los and a number of non-commercial (member) spaces. thanks, brian -- Brian Stengel KINBER Director of Operations bstengel@kinber.org M: 412.398.2333 GV: 412.254.3481 Skype: brian_stengel KINBER - Keystone Initiative for Network Based Education and Research - www.kinber.org PennREN - Pennsylvania's Research and Education Network
Everyone I know has either paid through the nose or written one from scratch. No good open source projects that worked out. Most people couldn't build well from scratch. I have been a couple of places that did, it was man-year of senior grade guy effort range. On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 1:01 PM, Brian Stengel <bstengel@kinber.org> wrote:

And 10-20% (or more) of an FTE in support. New devices need to be onboarded, new OS versions make subtle changes in the code, etc. The upside is that they can be powerful tools to automate mass config changes, and along with config parsing code, they can be powerful tools to standardize networks.
