Data centre infrastructure management

Plan, power, cable and run every rack.

NetCosm keeps every room, rack, circuit, cable and address in one record, so you can answer capacity questions in seconds and change the floor with confidence.

02 · One record

One record from floor tile to IP address

Follow a connection from the room it sits in to the name it answers to. Nothing is retyped between tools.

03 · Capacity

Ask the floor a question

Give NetCosm a site, a number of racks, kW per rack and a date. It answers yes or no, names the limiting factor, and lists the records it used.

  • Checked in order: change freeze, space, power, cooling
  • Cooling counted at N, N+1 or 2N
  • A 12-month forecast from your own history

04 · Telemetry

Measured, next to what you planned

Sensors sit on the floor plan. History is charted over 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days with warning and critical limits drawn in, and measured kW sits beside allocated kW for every rack.

05 · Network and security

The network around the racks

Inventory, addresses and security events are tied to the same devices and links.

Network inventory and discovery

Walk from site to building, floor, room, rack and device. Compare what is documented with what discovery observed, and approve the differences before anything changes.

Read more

Security events (SIEM)

Logs arrive at your own endpoint and are matched to the device, asset or site they name. Router events are tied to the exact interface and link.

Read more

IPAM, DNS and DHCP

See aggregates and prefixes as one tree with a utilisation bar on every row, then drill down to the address, the interface and the DNS name.

06 · Migration

Move from spreadsheets or another DCIM

Bring in sites, rooms, racks, assets, ports, connections and circuits with templates and header mapping. Fill the device catalogue from a starter library, and hand over one PDF per room when you are done.

07 · Industries

Built for the way you run infrastructure

Data centres and colocation

Run halls, suites and cages from one record: where every rack sits, what power and cooling it draws, how it is cabled and who it is reserved for.

Read more

Enterprise

Whether you run a data hall, a server room or a comms room on every floor, keep racks, power, cabling and addresses in one record that your whole team can read.

Read more

Telecoms and altnets

Keep core sites, exchange rooms and points of presence documented down to the port, and see what a failure would take with it.

Read more

MSPs

Look after many sites and many clients without a spreadsheet per customer: racks, cabling, addresses and events, each tied to the right site.

United Kingdom

NetCosm is hosted in the United Kingdom, so your rack, power and network records stay in the UK.
