Best DCIM Solution

Just a short question, we are looking for a DCIM Solution, since our infrastructure is massively growing - are there any good solutions out there? Currently 97 IPs, it should be able to also track power connections etc.

Check out [https://schematix.com](https://schematix.com) (I'm a founder) On the video page, the racks video shows interactive 3D diagrams of racks and power system dependencies.

Have a look at netbox, it provides everything you need an you can map out your infrastructure in extreme detail. GitHub: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox It's completely open source and can be extended with additional community written Plugins (visual mapping of your network for example). You can host it any way you like (directly on a Linux VM, Docker, Kubernetes). They even offer Cloud-based deployments now where they manage your netbox instance (if I read that correctly)

Nautobot would be better IMO. It’s a fork of Netbox, but a lot more flexible (and the developer is a lot more open to making changes that don’t necessarily align with his own beliefs)

Netbox has changed a lot very recently as Netbox Labs has grown and taken charge. I have seen them be much more customer focused and there is a team of people working on it to be more sustainable and flexible. I agree this used to be a problem, but recently it has definitely shifted.
