How does InvGate Asset Management map VMware infrastructure relationships like VM → ESXi host → vCenter?
Infrastructure mapping is often manual: teams know a VM belongs to a host, and the host belongs to a vCenter, but building diagrams typically requires searching profiles and copying identifiers.
InvGate Asset Management reduces that manual effort by providing relationship suggestions inside the diagramming/mapping experience. A user can select a VM and apply suggested relationships to connect it to its ESXi host, then expand from the host to the vCenter, and continue building a more complete infrastructure map with fewer steps.
Why do relationship suggestions matter for CMDB and business application diagrams in ITAM?
The limiting factor in CMDB-style adoption is usually maintenance cost: diagrams become stale when every relationship must be added manually.
InvGate Asset Management’s relationship suggestions are designed to reduce manual effort and errors, making it more feasible to keep business application diagrams accurate over time. This supports downstream processes that depend on reliable mapping, such as impact analysis and change coordination.
