Capacity Management Database (CDB)

A Capacity Management Database (CDB) consists of one or more databases that serve as a repository for holding multiple types of data used by its subprocesses. The core infrastructure record, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB), provides information about the state of Configuration Items (CIs) and the relationships between CIs. By providing performance and resource information about the (CIs), a CDB works with the CMDB to provide a complete and reliable view of the IT infrastructure.
