openDCIM is a data center infrastructure management application for documenting the physical infrastructure of data centres and server rooms. It helps administrators maintain equipment records, assess available capacity, and plan infrastructure changes.
The application organises infrastructure into data centres, rooms, rows, and cabinets. Devices can be associated with their physical locations, power requirements, network connections, and organisational ownership. Graphical cabinet views and floor plans provide a visual representation of equipment placement.
Power distribution and capacity planning are central to openDCIM. Administrators can trace electrical dependencies, examine remaining rack space, and assess the impact of equipment changes or power failures. The application also supports equipment auditing, administrative workflows, and infrastructure reporting.
This is free and open source software.
