NetBox Power Modeling for NetBox Power Users
Power management remains one of the most overlooked aspects of datacenter operations. While network teams meticulously document every circuit and connection, power infrastructure often lives in spreadsheets, outdated diagrams, or institutional knowledge that walks out the door when staff changes. This gap becomes especially critical as organizations scale their infrastructure for AI datacenter workloads and struggle to accurately assess available power capacity.
Managing datacenters starts with the “lights and pipes,” and while many users are familiar with modeling the networking pipes in NetBox, the lights deserve equal attention in your system of record. NetBox’s power modeling capabilities transform how teams manage datacenter power infrastructure by bringing power documentation into the same platform as your network data. This unified view fundamentally changes how teams approach capacity planning and remote operations.
Join us for a technical deep dive into NetBox power modeling, where we’ll demonstrate practical workflows that datacenter teams can implement immediately to improve their power management operations.
What You’ll Learn:
- How power panels, feeds, and ports are modeled within NetBox’s data structure
- Real-world examples of different feed and phase configurations for various datacenter scenarios
- Using power data to make informed deployment decisions before racking servers
- Automating power management tasks, including safe PDU port cycling through the NetBox API
- Best practices for documenting power redundancy and capacity across facilities
From provisioning new multi-MW AI datacenters to preventing accidental power disruptions during routine maintenance, NetBox power modeling helps datacenter operations teams work faster and with greater confidence.
Recording and slides will be sent to all registrants after the live webinar.
