Lanifex Database of Managed Objects (DMO)

DMO stands for "Database of Managed Objects." This is a tool for documenting all objects within a data center. It provides an object-based overlay on a MySQL database, with a Web-based interface, which allows new objects to be defined in a hierarchy. Each object can have attributes defined, which are inherited by objects below in the hierarchy. Information can be imported in CSV or XML format, and reports can be produced in XML, CSV, PDF and HTML formats. If you like DMO, then you should also like one of our other products, the Outreach Project Tool, which is used to track project management and to support collaboration.

Introduction

DMO uses PHP and MySQL to support documentation of all network and system objects within your computing environment. It offers a Web interface that enables easy navigation through objects, instances and attributes, with XML and access controls. This software has been tested, and runs on Solaris, Linux and Windows (using XAMPP).

Documentation

For installation help, please refer to the Web-based documentation (also available as a PDF) in the docs directory, or the README file included in the DMO package. In addition, there is a README for Windows.

Here are some screenshots for the project.

The Documentation folder of the DMO package contains more information on how to use DMO. There is also a FAQ, and a ROADMAP of how we plan to develop DMO further. As a guideline on how DMO may be used, check out this PDF on using DMO for Risk Assessment. We also have a DMO Brochure in English (PDF) and German (PDF), and another German language Security Overview (PDF). In addition, full commercial support is available.
