BDNA is one of a very few specialized providers of IT product master data. Technopedia categorizes and aligns over 500,000 products from over 13,000 manufacturers to deliver consistent, accurate, business relevant information. Technopedia is an extensive, curated data set consisting of hardware and software vendors, their products, release versions, a categorization taxonomy, and availability/end of life/obsolete indicators. The data is rigorously cleaned and normalized; "Oracle" appears just as "Oracle" without variants such as "Oracle Inc" or "Oracle Corporation." Hardware data includes weight, dimensions, power consumption and thermal metrics, and other essential information for data center planners. BDNA also offers SLAs on how often the data will be validated and updated.
