RackTables Review
Open-source datacenter asset management system for documenting rack hardware, network addresses, and infrastructure configuration.
Verdict
RackTables is a mature, self-hosted solution purpose-built for datacenter and server room documentation, covering rack space, IP addresses, and network configuration in one interface. It suits IT teams managing physical infrastructure who need more structure than spreadsheets but don't require a commercial DCIM platform. Setup demands technical investment and the project's release cadence is slow, so evaluators should check community activity before committing.
Best for
Datacenter and server room administrators seeking a comprehensive asset management system.
