openDCIM, is a free, web based Data Center Infrastructure Management application. DCIM means many different things to many different people, and there is a multitude of commercial applications available. openDCIM does not contend to be a function by function replacement for commercial applications.

• Support for Multiple Rooms (Data Centers)
• Management of the three key elements of capacity management - space, power, and cooling
• Basic contact management and integration into existing business directory via UserID
• Fault Tolerance Tracking - run a power outage simulation to see what would be affected as each source goes down
• Computation of Center of Gravity for each cabinet
• Template management for devices, with ability to override per device
• Optional tracking of cable connections within each cabinet, and for each switch device
• Archival functions for equipment sent to salvage/disposal
• Integration with intelligent power strips and UPS devices - APC, Geist Manufacturing, Liebert, and Server Technologies. Easy to update with OIDs for other manufacturers.
• Open Architecture - All built on a MySQL database for easy report building, or export to other applications
