Data-Rich, Insight-Poor?
Your Netbox Source of Truth is valuable. But are you getting the most from it?
Hours Wasted on Tracing?
Manually clicking through dozens of cables, patch panels, and devices to trace a single connection is slow, error-prone, and frustrating for your engineers.
Financial Data Disconnected?
Your asset data lives in Netbox, but financial data is in spreadsheets. Bridging this gap for depreciation reports and budget forecasting is a manual, laborious process.
Can't See the Big Picture?
Netbox tracks every change, but creating meaningful monthly reports on growth, activity trends, and upcoming EOL events requires custom scripts or hours of data crunching.
The Intelligent Business Layer for Your Infrastructure
The ydata Portal connects directly to your existing Netbox instance via its API.
It doesn't replace your SoT — it supercharges it.
From Raw Data to Actionable Results
Discover a suite of tools designed to solve specific, high-value problems.
Get the Big Picture: Holistic Site Dashboards
Benefit: Make informed capacity and strategic decisions with a complete, aggregated view of any datacenter site. Stop clicking through dozens of racks and circuits to understand site health.
- ✅ At-a-Glance KPIs: Instantly view key metrics for the entire site, including total racks, rack units, power capacity, asset value, and circuit counts.
- ✅ Capacity Planning Made Easy: Visualize space and power utilization for every rack with clear progress bars, identifying potential hotspots or available capacity in seconds.
- ✅ Unified Connectivity View: See every physical circuit, virtual circuit, and VPN tunnel terminating at the site in a single, searchable table.
- ✅ Data-Driven Decisions: Quickly assess a site’s overall status to support new projects, plan migrations, or audit resources.
Instant Visibility: Dynamic Device Datasheets
Benefit: Slash troubleshooting time from hours to seconds. Get a complete, end-to-end view of every port on a device instantly, accelerating fault diagnosis and change planning.
- ✅ Automated Signal Tracing: Follows the entire path for data, console, and power connections across cables, patch panels, and circuits.
- ✅ Intelligent Data Augmentation: Enriches traces with full details of peer devices, racks, sites, and circuits in real-time.
- ✅ Professional PDF Export: Generate a crisp, multi-page PDF with one click, perfect for change management or field technician work orders.
- ✅ Try it for free: We provide free devicesheets from your Netbox instance.
Bridge the Gap: Financial & Lifecycle Intelligence
Benefit: Align technology investments with financial strategy. Make informed decisions about hardware refreshes, budgets, and support contracts by combining live asset data with financial metrics.
Asset Depreciation Calculator
Upload asset costs via CSV, and the portal automatically correlates them with your Netbox inventory to calculate depreciation, run costs and current book value.
Proactive Lifecycle Management
View all upcoming End-of-Life/Support dates in a single report and use a visual forecast chart to plan migrations and budgets effectively.
Standardize Your Infrastructure with a Curated Device and Module Type Catalog
Benefit: Ensure data accuracy and operational consistency from day one. By using a pre-vetted, managed library of hardware models, you eliminate the guesswork and errors of manual device type creation.
- ✅ Managed & Maintained Library: We provide a rich catalog of common enterprise and datacenter hardware, complete with accurate component layouts, part numbers, and high-resolution elevation images.
- ✅ Lifecycle Intelligence Included: Every device type includes critical End-of-Life, End-of-Support, and End-of-Sale dates, turning your Netbox instance into a proactive tool for lifecycle management and budget planning.
- ✅ One-Click Push to Netbox: Select any device type from the catalog and push it directly into your Netbox instance. Our service handles the creation of the manufacturer, device type, all component templates, and even uploads the images for you.
- ✅ Eliminate Configuration Drift: Stop dealing with inconsistent, user-created device types. Enforce standardization across your entire infrastructure, ensuring that datasheets and reports are always accurate.
Gain Clarity: Actionable Reporting & Dashboards
Benefit: Understand the *what*, *who*, and *why* behind infrastructure changes. Go beyond raw logs to identify trends, enhance accountability, and track growth.
Advanced Changelog Explorer
Instantly search and filter your entire Netbox changelog by user, date, or object type, with at-a-glance statistics for any query.
Automated Monthly Reports
Generate a comprehensive, one-click report showing key activity, top users, and the net change (additions vs. deletions) for your critical assets.
