From utility feed to rack, on one diagram
Model the whole power chain, see headroom at every step against de-rated capacity, and take a feed out on screen to find what would be overloaded.
The full chain
Utility feed and generator, UPS, floor PDU, RPP, circuit, rack PDU and rack, each unit linked to the one above it.
Headroom with banding
Green under 80%, amber from 80 to 95% and red above 95%, against de-rated capacity where it is recorded.
Test a feed failure
Fail feed lists every unit pushed over 100% and every device left without power.
From setup to answer in four steps
Build the chain
Add units and circuits and put each on Feed A, B or C, STS, or not assigned.
Cord the devices
Cording a device to a PDU outlet stamps the outlet's circuit on its power port and recalculates allocated watts.
Read the loads
Load is the sum of watts allocated to outlets, rolled up to every unit above, with headroom at each step.
Fail a feed
Take out Feed A or B and see where the load moves and what goes over.
What you can do
Single-line diagram and tree
The Power panel shows a single-line diagram and a tree on site, room, rack, infrastructure unit and power circuit records. On a rack it shows only that rack's chain, with the rack highlighted.
Feed meters on every rack
Each rack shows a Feed A meter and a Feed B meter, captioned with rated, de-rated and allocated kW. A warning appears when every PDU in a rack is on one feed, and when placing a device would push a feed over its de-rating.
Single-corded kit, found
Single-feed devices lists any device with two or more power supplies all on one feed, so redundancy that exists on paper is the redundancy you have.
Works with the rest of the platform
Capacity planning
Ask the question in the form it is asked on the floor. NetCosm answers yes or no, names the limiting factor and shows the records it used.
Read moreTelemetry and environment
Readings land beside the plan. See sensors on the floor, chart their history with limits drawn in, and compare measured kW with allocated kW rack by rack.
Read moreRacks and equipment
Drag equipment onto a rack elevation and know instantly whether it fits: space, depth, weight, power and reservations are all checked as you mount.

What does the power chain cover?
Utility feed and generator through UPS, floor PDU, RPP and circuit to the rack PDU and rack.
Is headroom based on nameplate?
It uses de-rated capacity where recorded, otherwise rated, against the watts allocated to each outlet.
Can we test losing a feed?
Yes. Fail feed moves load to the other supplies and lists every unit pushed over 100% and any device left without power.
Will it spot single-corded kit?
Yes. It lists devices whose power supplies all sit on one feed.
Can we see measured power?
The room power panel shows measured kW beside allocated kW per rack, with the reading's source and age.
NetCosm is hosted in the United Kingdom, so your rack, power and network records stay in the UK.
