Unified Cloud Inventory gives platform, security and finance teams one current map of everything the organisation runs: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, Alibaba and Huawei by API, and VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix and OpenShift through the Edge Agent. Resources are grouped into workloads with their dependencies, so a question like 'what runs in Mumbai and who owns it' is a filter, not a week of spreadsheet reconciliation.
- < 15 min
- From connecting a cloud account to its first full inventory
- 6 + on-prem
- Public clouds by API, private platforms by Edge Agent
- 15 min
- Default re-discovery interval, with change events where the provider offers them
How it shows up
- Six consoles and a spreadsheet — the CMDB is out of date the day it is exported.
- Ownership is unknown for a large share of resources, so idle spend and orphaned access persist.
- Every audit, migration and cost exercise starts by rebuilding the same inventory by hand.
How it works
- 1
Step 1
Connect six public clouds with read-only credentials, and on-prem sites via the Edge Agent over outbound-only HTTPS.
- 2
Step 2
Every resource is discovered, normalised to one schema and grouped by workload.
- 3
Step 3
Teams search, filter and act on resources from the control plane; every action lands in the audit log.
- 4
Step 4
Reports export to PDF, Excel or CSV; the API feeds your CMDB or GRC tool.
- 5
Step 5
The same inventory feeds provisioning, observability, migration and governance.
What is included
- Discovery across 6 public clouds + on-prem & hybrid
- On-prem via the Edge Agent (outbound-only HTTPS on 443)
- Resources grouped by workload, with dependency mapping and lifecycle actions
- PDF / Excel / CSV reports, and the REST API for your CMDB
Modules involved
Inventory & Discovery

Cloud Connectors
One control plane over six public clouds, plus private, hybrid & edge.
Identity & Access
One identity fabric — federate your IdP and auto-provision access everywhere.
Editions and audience
Recommended editions: Standard and Enterprise.
Who it is for: CIOs, Heads of Infrastructure, and cloud platform teams who need one map of the estate.
Delivered engagement — Global media network, Doha
A Doha-headquartered media network put broadcast, streaming, archive and worldwide bureaus under one governance plane, ran Whale AI on its own models inside the perimeter for archive intelligence and transcription, and decomposed production cost per channel and programme.
“The newsroom now uses AI for archive search and transcription every day, and every prompt and every document stays on our own systems. Sources and unpublished work have never left the building.”
Questions teams ask in the evaluation
What permissions does discovery need?
Read-only: an IAM role with a read policy on AWS, the Reader role on Azure subscriptions, the Viewer role on GCP projects, and equivalent read keys on Oracle, Alibaba and Huawei. Write actions are granted separately, per policy.
How is on-prem discovered?
One Edge Agent per site talks to the hypervisor APIs — vCenter, Hyper-V, Prism, OpenShift — and reports over outbound HTTPS. Nothing is installed on guest VMs and no inbound firewall rule is needed.
Can it replace our CMDB?
It can be the source for it. Configuration items and relationships come from live discovery, and the REST API or CSV export feeds ServiceNow or whichever CMDB you keep as the system of record.
