How it works

Upload. Map. Report.

Drop in your discovery data or connect a source. IFMP rebuilds the topology and surfaces the evidence licensing depends on.

Pipeline
01 Upload
vmware_export_2026.csv
Drag & drop Lansweeper API

Drop files in or establish an API with Lansweeper, then click process. Any source works.

02 Map
PROD-CL01
3 hosts · 1 cluster · 14 VMs
Host → VM CPU mapped

Every virtualization level is detailed and wired into a single topology with sockets, cores, and relationships.

03 Report

2 sockets · 48 cores · ESXi
Evidence ready Export

A complete picture of your infrastructure, with the required evidence surfaced and ready to act on.

What you map

Topology. CPU. Relationships.

The detail a flat inventory list will never give you.

Full estate topology

Hosts, clusters, and workloads wired into one map. See how every part of your infrastructure connects.

CPU & virtualization detail

Sockets, cores, and hypervisor at every level. The metrics Oracle and other vendor licensing is counted on.

Audit-ready evidence

Surface the exact evidence an audit asks for, exportable and defensible, without a manual chase.

Watch demo

Create a complete topology of your IT estate.

A walkthrough of mapping an infrastructure inside IFMP.

The foundation layer

The hardware layer under your vendor analysis.

Oracle, Microsoft, and Red Hat all price on cores, sockets, and virtualization. IFMP maps that topology once, and every vendor app reads from it. The Oracle Database walkthrough in the demo is one example, the same layer feeds the rest.

Map the estate once. Every per-core, per-socket, and per-VM calculation downstream starts from the same trusted topology.
