Discovery
Know everything in your environment. Automatically.
Automated discovery engine that identifies and catalogues all IT assets, applications, and dependencies across the organisation — including a live Business Service Map and full DCIM (Data Centre Infrastructure Management) visibility. StackX Discovery continuously scans your environment — cloud, on-premises, and hybrid — building and maintaining an accurate, real-time inventory that serves as the foundation for every other platform capability.
Key Capabilities
Discovery delivers a comprehensive set of capabilities designed to work seamlessly within the StackX platform and integrate with your existing environment.
Business Service Map
Automatically construct and maintain a live Business Service Map that links physical infrastructure, virtual resources, applications, and business services into a single dependency hierarchy. Understand the business impact of any infrastructure event instantly — from a failed switch port to a degraded cloud region — by tracing the dependency chain up to the affected business service. The Business Service Map is the foundation for accurate impact analysis, change risk assessment, and executive-level reporting.
DCIM — Data Centre Infrastructure Management
Full DCIM capability integrated natively into the discovery layer. StackX maps physical data centre assets — racks, servers, PDUs, cooling units, and network equipment — with their logical relationships, power chains, and cooling zones. Capacity planning, power utilisation, and physical asset lifecycle management are all driven from the same auto-discovered inventory, eliminating the manual spreadsheets that traditional DCIM tools rely on.
Application Dependency Mapping
Deep application dependency discovery with service mapping and configuration management. Understanding which applications depend on which infrastructure components is essential for accurate impact analysis and change risk scoring.
Cloud & Hybrid Resource Discovery
Multi-cloud resource identification and cataloguing with cost optimisation insights. Shadow IT and untagged resources are surfaced automatically, eliminating the blind spots that drive unexpected cloud bills.
