Does the iWise CMDB affect user performance during auto-detection?
Yes. iWise provides an “out of the box” interface to SMS. SMS collects data from multiple, distributed data sources, and offers a variety of collection methodologies. Some options relay on the installation of agents on individual workstations for the collection process, while others can obtain information from simple TCP/IP network scans. Any auto-discovery tool like NetCool or SMS will not affect iWise search and update functions, since the network discovery tools run independently of iWise. The tool(s) and specific methods employed for inventory collection determine network performance during collection and update. Collection actions scheduled during off-peak hours minimize the impact on the network.
