1. A computer implemented method for accessing data from a configuration management database, the computer implemented method comprising:
- a processor receiving a data access request;
the processor, in response to determining that requested data must be acquired in real time by accessing a data source that initialized the requested data, acquiring the requested data from the data source in real time and storing the requested data as acquired data;
the processor, in response to determining that the requested data cannot be acquired in real time from the data source, acquiring the requested data as previously stored in a configuration management database;
the processor providing the acquired requested data; and
the processor calculating a confidence level of acquired and previously-stored data, wherein the acquired and previously-stored data is a copy of the requested data that was most recently acquired from the data source, wherein the confidence level describes a trustworthiness state of the previously-stored data, and wherein calculating the confidence level comprises the processor;
calculating a standard dispersion

Abstract
A computer implemented method for accessing data begins with receipt of a data access request. In response to determining that the requested data needs to be acquired in real time from an original data source, the processor acquires and stores that data. In response to determining that the data cannot be acquired in real time from the data source, the processor acquires the data from a configuration management database in which the requested data was previously stored.

8. A configuration management database system, comprising:
-
a database for storing configuration management data; and an access control device for controlling data access operations of the configuration management database system, wherein the access control device comprises; a communication interface for receiving a data access request; a processor; for data that is necessary to be acquired in real time by accessing the data source, acquiring the data from the data source in real time and storing the acquired data; for, if the data cannot be acquired in real time from the data source, acquiring data stored previously; and
for providing the acquired requested data; andcalculation hardware for calculating a confidence level of acquired and previously-stored data, wherein the acquired and previously-stored data is a copy of the requested data that was most recently acquired from the data source, wherein the confidence level describes a trustworthiness state of the previously-stored data, and wherein calculating the confidence level comprises; calculating a standard dispersion - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
