Secure, distributed Base Station & Satellite model

CMDB-360 is deployed as a cloud appliance. Satellites live inside each customer environment; the Base Station gives you the unified view. Customer asset data is never saved on disk outside the protected environment.

Secure CMDB-360 architecture: a central CMDB-360 Base Station connects to satellites running inside customer environments — Azure, OCI (with OCI Cloud Resources), AWS, a Satellite & Automation Runner (Explorer, Linux, Windows), and VMware — each labelled as a CMDB-360 Satellite, communicating securely with the Base Station.
The CMDB-360 Base Station connects to Satellites running securely inside each customer environment.

Base Station

The MSP- or enterprise-operated CMDB-360 appliance that aggregates discovery rosters and presents the unified 360° view. It requests asset detail on demand and only holds it while a user is viewing the records.

Satellite

A lightweight appliance deployed inside the customer’s cloud tenancy or datacenter (for example an OCI compartment or AWS VPC). It discovers resources and streams non-sensitive rosters to the Base Station over a restricted REST API.

Rapid deployment

LaunchPad — launch Satellites in minutes

LaunchPad is the deployment layer of the architecture. Running on a single Linux host, it uses Docker — with automatic Docker Swarm support — to run any number of Satellites, while a proprietary integration wires it directly into the Base Station portal for point-and-click deployment. One LaunchPad can stand up many Satellites, so there’s no separate virtual machine to build for each one.

Base LaunchPad

Ships with every Base Station and is ready to use out of the box. It runs the Satellites that discover over a public cloud API — the OCI, AWS and Azure public-cloud Satellites.

Remote LaunchPad

Deployed inside a customer’s datacenter or cloud tenancy and bound to that account, so every Satellite it launches — and the data they gather — stays local to the customer.

Why it matters

Your customers’ data stays in their environment

Data never leaves

Cloud environment and asset data is never saved on disk outside the protected environment.

On-demand streaming

Asset detail streams to the Base Station only while a user is actively accessing a record.

Restricted REST API

Satellites communicate over a restricted, direct REST API — no broad network exposure.

Deploy your first Satellite

Available on the OCI, AWS and Azure marketplaces, or via the CMDB-360 LaunchPad.
