NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Device42, Inc., a leading global provider of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software, today announced the release of free integration code that enables users of Atlassian's Confluence collaboration software to embed device links and details from the Device42 configuration management database (CMDB) into their Confluence IT knowledge base articles.

This integration provides three ways for Confluence users, who are creating IT infrastructure documentation, to link or insert Device42 asset data directly into their Confluence articles and documentation:

• Embed an inline link - Confluence authors can easily insert hyperlinks to specific objects within Device42. When accessed, the links open a new browser window that displays device information contained in Device42.
• Embed device details - Confluence authors can also insert details of a specific Device42 object directly into their Confluence article. These details can include device ID, name, hardware model, asset tag, and other details.
• Embed a table of devices - Using Device42's filtering criteria, Confluence authors can embed a table of data for multiple Device42 objects that meet the author's criteria.

For IT teams documenting processes, infrastructure procedures, or other IT-related materials, the Device42-Confluence integration makes creating IT-related articles within Confluence faster, easier, more detailed, and also more effective. Device42's auto-discovery scheduling feature also ensures that linked device information within Confluence articles is accurate and up-to-date.

"This latest integration tool allows Device42 users to leverage their software investments and help to ensure that device information contained in IT process and infrastructure documentation is accurate and up-to-date," stated Raj Jalan, CEO of Device42, Inc. "Device42 remains committed to providing data center management software that delivers exceptional capabilities at a low cost, while providing unlimited integration possibilities and new ways of leveraging legacy IT investments."
