Executive Summary
The world of configuration management database (CMDB) and application mapping evolved considerably in 2006 with the acquisition of a number of the small, innovative companies that pioneered this versatile technology that enables a seemingly infinite number of solutions. In 2006, Symantec acquired Relicore, EMC picked up nLayers, and CA bought Cendura. Today, Tideway Systems remains the only independent application mapping company left on the market. Data center automation, one of the fastest growing segments in IT operations, relies increasingly on application mapping, as witnessed by Symantec's acquisition of Relicore, Opsware's creation of its own technology, and BladeLogic's reliance on EMC (nLayers). More than ever before, building a CMDB is a work in progress with alliances and partnerships augmenting its value every day.
