openDCIM Review
Free open-source web-based DCIM application for tracking physical data center assets, capacity, power, cooling, and cable connections.
Verdict
openDCIM targets small-to-mid-sized data centers that need structured inventory management without the cost of commercial DCIM platforms. It covers the core use cases — asset tracking, space/power/cooling capacity, fault simulation, and UPS integration — on a standard LAMP stack. It openly acknowledges it is not a full commercial replacement, so enterprises with advanced monitoring or automation needs should evaluate accordingly.
