Graphical Networks will exhibit at DCF Trends 2026, taking place August 4–6, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency in Reston, Virginia.
Stop by Booth #14 to see how netTerrain DCIM software helps data center teams document infrastructure, manage capacity, track assets and connectivity, and maintain a dependable system of record.
As data centers grow in size, density, and complexity, operators need quick, accurate answers about rack space, power, cabling, equipment, and infrastructure dependencies. netTerrain DCIM brings that information together in a single visual platform.
Is Your Data Center Still Running on Spreadsheets and Tribal Knowledge?
Many organizations still manage critical data center information across spreadsheets, Visio diagrams, CAD drawings, vendor portals, and knowledge held by a small number of experienced employees.
That approach can work for a while, but it becomes harder to maintain as equipment changes and facilities expand. Even basic questions can take too long to answer. Teams may not know exactly what is installed in a rack, how much space remains, which devices connect to a switch or patch panel, or whether enough power is available for a new deployment.
The same problem appears during moves, adds, and changes. Without reliable documentation, it can be difficult to trace circuits, understand dependencies, or determine which systems could be affected by planned work.
Instead of managing infrastructure, employees spend valuable time searching for information, checking records, and walking through equipment rooms to verify what is actually there.
How netTerrain DCIM Helps Data Center Teams
netTerrain DCIM provides a centralized, visual platform for documenting and managing physical data center infrastructure. It gives teams a clear view of racks, cabinets, floor layouts, equipment, cabling, and the relationships between them.
Organizations use netTerrain to track servers, storage systems, network devices, ports, fiber, copper, structured cabling, and other infrastructure assets. Because the information is connected, users can move from a high-level facility view to a specific rack, device, port, or cable path without switching between multiple tools.
This makes everyday tasks such as change management, impact analysis, onboarding, auditing, and troubleshooting easier to manage. It also helps preserve institutional knowledge so important infrastructure details are not lost when experienced employees leave or change roles.
Improve Data Center Capacity Planning
Understanding available capacity across space, power, and connectivity is one of the most important challenges facing modern data centers.
netTerrain DCIM gives teams the visibility they need to plan deployments, expansions, migrations, and upgrades with greater confidence. Operators can review rack and cabinet utilization, identify available rack space, trace connectivity paths, find open ports, and evaluate whether infrastructure resources are available before work begins.
This helps organizations spot potential constraints earlier, reduce unnecessary overprovisioning, and avoid purchasing equipment that cannot be installed as planned.
Instead of relying on estimates or outdated spreadsheets, teams can review documented capacity before committing to a project or scheduling installation work.
Add Real-Time Data Center Power Monitoring
For organizations that need more than static infrastructure documentation, netTerrain DCIM can integrate with intelligent, SNMP-enabled power equipment.
This allows teams to combine physical infrastructure records with real-time operational data. They can monitor power consumption from intelligent PDUs, review utilization across racks and cabinets, and identify potential power limitations before they affect a deployment or expansion project.
Bringing documentation and power monitoring into the same platform provides a more complete view of the data center. It also makes it easier to compare planned infrastructure with current operating conditions and make better-informed decisions.
DCIM Software for Modern Data Center Environments
netTerrain DCIM supports enterprise data centers, colocation facilities, campus environments, government installations, edge locations, distributed infrastructure, and other mission-critical facilities.
Teams use it for capacity planning, rack and cabinet management, asset lifecycle management, data center migrations, infrastructure modernization, network upgrades, cabling and circuit documentation, incident response, compliance, and operational readiness.
Whether an organization is documenting an existing facility, preparing for expansion, or replacing outdated infrastructure records, netTerrain DCIM helps create a clear and maintainable source of truth.
