IBM BigFix Inventory

Architecture

We have BigFix Inventory installed on two servers. There is the application server and a database server. We are using Windows to host the system.

40k+ endpoints report their information to our BigFix server and the Inventory server performs an ETL process on a daily basis to gather the information it needs.
