Server

 

A Server is typically used in iTop to document a physical server machine. The Server object documents asset management information, physical characteristics and operational informations (contracts and services). A Server can be related to software components, contacts and documents. More relationships can be added to Servers by other modules like the module “Advanced Storage”.
