Fundamentals of 1E Tachyon CMDB Connect
An overview of the fundamental concepts and terminology needed to understand what 1E Tachyon CMDB Connect will do for you. In most Organizations, CMDB implementations has been a challenge due to one or all the following reasons:
Multiple inputs
Lots of data and limited information available
Stale and duplicate data
Maintenance is an afterthought.
To mitigate these challenges, we have designed a federated CMDB with minimal data populated into standard CMDB tables. The federated structure called 1E Tachyon CMDB Connect and allows customers to retrieve real time end-user device information without permanently populating the CMDB tables.
ServiceNow integration with Tachyon
1E Tachyon CMDB Connect is an integration between the ServiceNow CMDB module and Tachyon. This integration between ServiceNow and Tachyon enables customers to utilize real-time device information provided by the CMDB database with the help of Tachyon.
Please refer to Tachyon Platform 8.1 for details of what Tachyon does and how it can benefit your organization.
