Cloud discovery identifies IaaS and PaaS resources in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. Service mapping shows infrastructure dependencies behind business-critical applications and services. Deployment can use SaaS, public or private cloud, or on premises. Depending on storage, an instance can capture up to 200,000 servers or desktops and 200 million configuration items. Core SaaS includes one production tenant, one non-production tenant, and premium discovery for up to 500 server OSIs; customers maintain some discovery components.
