Product Definition
Kuwaiba Open Inventory System (from now on Kuwaiba) is a FOSS (Free and Open
Source Software) enterprise class network inventory system. The Kuwaiba project is
committed to protecting and promoting the four major freedoms stated by the FSF (Free
Software Foundation):
• The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it.
• The freedom to redistribute copies.
• The freedom to distribute copies of the modified versions to others.
By enterprise class is understood the capability of managing thousands of elements and
a high transactional load while ensuring the data availability, integrity and
confidentiality. As part of the OSS (Operation Support Systems) ecosystem, Kuwaiba
provides north and southbound interfaces to integrate it to other applications using
common and open industry standards.
Kuwaiba provides a comprehensive set of features focused on managing technological
assets, as well as the relationships between them at physical, logical and administrative
levels.
