ODCNMS for Open DataCenter Network Management System is a free open source project developed under the open source model. It that makes it possible to manage at network level a DataCenter. You can manage locations (rack, patch panel, port), customers, networks (subnet, ip address, vlan), devices (slot, interface), etc ...

A DataCenter is composed of different elements:

* Physics: locations, racks, patch panels, cables
* Network: switches, routers, firewalls, etc... ;
* System: application servers, backup servers, mail servers etc...;
* Logics: customers, VLANs, network, subnet, IP addresses.

Those different elements are managed by Network Engineer and System Administrator by many ways:

* Numerous Spreadsheet documents;
* IP addresses management software: IP Plan.

ODCNMS combines those entire elements's information for a centralized management. ODCNMS allows for example a network engineer to localise a device in a rack, to find all customers associated with a device or a subnet, to find free IP address space across an IP range, to display overlapping IP address space between networks, etc...
