Turn an inherited site into a clear baseline
RackTrack helps migration teams understand what is physically present before they plan moves, consolidation, or cutover work.
The inherited row, and the real row
00 · In plain English M&A & migration teams
A practical starting point
Inherited environments rarely match the documents that come with them. RackTrack gives the team a practical starting point: capture the floor, compare it with the seller or legacy record, and identify what disagrees.
01 · Before unverified
Inherited environments rarely match the documents that came with them
A deal closes and the environment changes hands, but nobody is fully sure which devices are still installed or connected.
02 · During the sweep capture
RackTrack captures the real cabinet
RackTrack captures cabinets, labels, rack position, visible devices, ports, and cable context across the inherited footprint.
03 · After verified baseline
The team gets a record it can use
The migration team can separate known equipment from unknown equipment and plan from the verified baseline.
Clear rack evidence, not another mystery report
