On May 15, BMC introduced its new generation Configuration Management Database (CMDB,) BMC Atrium CMDB 2.0, as a follow on to BMC Atrium CMDB 1.0 in January, 2005. This is significant on several counts. BMC, more than any other vendor, has succeeded in articulating the importance of CMDBs as both a foundation for IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) best practices, and as a design point to accommodate more effective integration and automation across a versatile, multi-brand management portfolio. While CMDBs remain obscure to many in the media and confusing to many buyers, the "CMDB Revolution" is real—transforming the IT management marketplace into a more collaborative and logically defined set of architectural and functional parameters.
In addition to BMC’s Atrium CMDB 2.0, BMC announced expanded BSM (Business Service Management) foundation technologies, which together offer significant enhancements across a broad range of capabilities. These include: process workflows, discovery, visualization, configuration management, analytics, and CMDB data integration and maintenance. Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) believes that through the introduction of Atrium CMDB 2.0, BMC has strengthened its market position as a leading provider of CMDB solutions. Moreover, with its introduction of process workflows and analytics, BMC is building creatively and aggressively on its CMDB base.
