Now that the insurance company has complete records of all its assets, you suggest gathering and storing configuration information for every piece of hardware and software on the network. One way to accomplish this would be to visit every workstation, server, and connectivity device and write down their configuration information. To save time and ensure accuracy, you suggest using a configuration management software designed to retrieve this information automatically and store it centrally. You also want an application that can push changes in configurations to all the switches or routers on your network at once. Research the capabilities of configuration management applications. What additional functions would be desirable for your network? How might the configuration management database be connected to the asset management database? Name at least two configuration management applications that would suit your company’s needs.
