Advanced IT Infrastructure Library Training

Introduction:

ITIL is a library of best practices for managing IT services and improving IT support and service levels. The most essential parts of ITIL are the configuration management database (CMDB), which provides the central authority for all components including services, software, IT components, documents, users, and hardware that must be managed to deliver an IT service.

Adhering to ITIL principles helps ensure you can get to the root cause of problems in your environment as quickly as possible and that you have the right visibility into the systems and people to prevent future problems.
