At the last company I was at, we have over 100 servers that were poorly
documented. After 5 IT Managers before me, and no documentation. RackTables
helped me sort it all out. I found 25 machines that NO ONE knew what there
purpose was for other then to eat electricity. Those machines were re-purposed
for reinstalls of aging machines, that combined with vmware I was able to get
the environment down to 45 machines. Saving the company money on electricity,
and having extra hardware incase of failures, with backup machines pre-imaged.
It's was nice having a visual repensentation of the datacenter. 1 thing I would
like to see, and that is the ability to export everything into a visio
compataible XML file. So it can be opened in Visio and modified as needed.
Really helps to get a broader view of the entire network.
