Infrastructure
Operate Hybrid Infrastructure Through One Governed Model
Manage data-centre and cloud infrastructure with discovery, maintenance and recovery mapping linked to services.
Infrastructure brings multi-cloud and on-premises resources into the Nexus model, connecting discovery and configuration with change, capacity and disaster-recovery planning.
Hybrid estates outgrow manual operations
Infrastructure spans data centres and several clouds, managed with different tools and inconsistent records.
Fragmented views
Each cloud has its own console.
Unplanned maintenance
Patching collides with business events.
Unclear recovery
DR dependencies are not mapped.

Discovery & inventory
Know the estate.
- Multi-cloud discovery
- Agentless network discovery
- CI classification and relationships
- CMDB integration
Hybrid estates fail at the seams: each cloud has its console, the data centre has its spreadsheets, and maintenance collides with business events because nobody sees the whole board. Infrastructure brings every layer into the governed Nexus model — discovered, baselined, maintained under change control, and mapped to the services and recovery plans that depend on it.

Inside the Infrastructure lifecycle
The decisions, exceptions, automation and analytics that make the practice enterprise-grade.
Decisions inside the lifecycle
Maintenance scope and windows are decided through change governance; baseline exceptions are accepted or remediated by the accountable owner; and recovery mappings are reviewed against the live model on a defined cadence.
Exceptions and escalations
Configuration drift, failed discovery and approaching capacity limits surface as governed exceptions with owners. Maintenance that cannot find a safe window escalates to service owners rather than proceeding silently.
Automation with human control
Discovery, classification, drift detection and impact lookup run automatically. Baseline changes, maintenance approval and recovery-plan updates remain governed human decisions.
Analytics and integrations
Estate health, drift trends and maintenance outcomes report through Analytics Hub. The CMDB holds the infrastructure records, Change Management governs the work, Capacity Management plans the resources, and Observability & SRE monitors the signals.
Infrastructure in practice
Representative situations drawn from common enterprise technology-operations patterns.
Patch Tuesday meets the business calendar
A routine patching window collides with a peak trading period because infrastructure planning and business events live in different tools.
How Nexus helps: Maintenance is planned through change governance with impact lookup from the CMDB, so windows are chosen against affected services and freeze periods — the collision is visible before it is scheduled.
The drift nobody declared
A server's configuration quietly diverges from its baseline over months, until an audit or an outage exposes the gap.
How Nexus helps: Configuration baselines with drift detection compare the estate against declared standards continuously, surfacing divergence as a governed exception rather than a surprise.
Recovery planned on a whiteboard
The disaster-recovery plan exists as a diagram from a workshop two years ago, and nobody is sure it still matches reality.
How Nexus helps: Recovery mapping records DR dependencies against the live infrastructure model, so the recovery plan reflects the estate as it is — and drift between plan and reality is visible.
Why enterprises choose Nexus for infrastructure
One model across the hybrid seam
Data-centre, cloud and virtualized layers share the CMDB model that incident, change and capacity processes already use — the estate is governed where the work happens, not exported to a separate tool.
Maintenance under real governance
Infrastructure work flows through the same change control as everything else — impact lookup, approved windows, freeze respect — so operations discipline does not depend on individual diligence.
Recovery mapped to reality
DR dependencies are recorded against the live infrastructure model and drift with it visibly, keeping recovery plans honest between exercises.
How AI supports Infrastructure
