I liked netviz but it seems owned by CA and unsupported nowadays. What do you use? /TiasTwo packages that I'm looking at right now for a project. RackMonkey http://flux.org.uk/projects/rackmonkey/ Simple, AJAX-ified, looks very easy to use for non-nerds. Keeps track of rack space allocations, devices, even does some neat tricks using Dell service tags to let you see warranty/config info.You remind me of a design discussion, well-lubricated with beer, in which my team was trying, in spite of top management, to design great carrier routers. At one point, partially for RFC4098 benchmarking, we wanted to puta GPS card into some prototypes, originally as a time reference.We started thinking what else we could do with it, assuming we could get an enhanced-accuracy GPS (DGPS/WAAS) signal into the machine room. Physical inventory became a possibility. Somewhere, however, it started moving into the silly, including oscillation indicating earthquakes, and then gracefularcs as the rack fell over.
Maybe not so silly : http://gizmodo.com/383605/laptop-accelerometers-used-to-study-earthquakes-desk-bumping Regards Marshall
