Domain Services

One source of truth — network, cloud, and containers

Every service and asset, discovered and kept current: mapped, owned, and costed. The living record the rest of SurroundNet is built on.

The living CMDB

Every asset, in full context

Not a static inventory row — each configuration item carries its addressing, interfaces, faults, changes, cost of ownership, and relationships, all on one record.

Addressing, interfaces, chassis, and reachability for every device.
Faults, changes, and work orders threaded to the asset they touch.
Cost of ownership — price, depreciation, and contracts — on the CI itself.

Owner, site, criticality, lifecycle state, and custom fields.
Relationships and dependencies for real blast-radius analysis.
Every class of asset — physical, virtual, cloud, and container.

Every class of thing

One model — not just servers and switches

Most CMDBs stop at compute and network. SurroundNet models the whole estate as first-class configuration items — a door controller, a Kubernetes pod, and a mail server live in the same record, related to each other.

Network — devices, firewalls, ACI spine/leaf fabric, circuits
Compute & storage — servers, virtual machines, storage arrays
Containers — Kubernetes clusters, nodes, pods, and workloads
Cloud — Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud resources

Infrastructure services — DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, NTP, RADIUS, mail, file, web
Physical security — IP cameras, NVRs, door & access controllers, badge readers
Endpoints & hosts — workstations and discovered hosts
Applications — business applications mapped to what they run on

Thirty-plus configuration-item classes and counting — each with its own attributes, relationships, and governance.

Multi-domain discovery

Network, cloud, and containers — one record

Discovery isn't limited to the switch closet. SurroundNet brings every domain into the same CMDB — and governs each with the same discipline.

SurroundNet's Cloud Endpoints view listing Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud resources with their region, type, CIDR, and account

Agentless cloud discovery across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud — each resource landed as a configuration item with its region, type, network, and account.

SurroundNet's Containers view showing Kubernetes clusters, their nodes, and workloads as first-class configuration items

Kubernetes clusters, nodes, and workloads as first-class CIs — the tier below the virtual machine. Cloud resources and network devices land in the same record.

The physical estate

From region to rack unit

The physical world, mapped: regions, sites, closets, racks, and the exact rack unit each device occupies — with the CIs that live there.

Fabric & topology

See how it connects

Understand the shape of the estate — spine/leaf fabric, port maps, live topology graphs, and the blast radius of any asset.

Data quality

Know what you don't know

A source of truth is only as good as its coverage. SurroundNet measures its own — identification coverage, owners, sites, criticality, and SLAs — and shows you the gaps.
