DCImanager
Platform for managing physical multi-vendor IT infrastructure
About DCImanager
DCImanager is a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platform by ISPsystem that lets hosting providers and enterprises manage physical servers, network equipment, and racks from multiple vendors in a single interface. It automates server provisioning, inventory, power and traffic monitoring, IPAM, and integrates with billing systems like BILLmanager, WHMCS, and HostBill.
