OSS at the Network Edge: Automating DCIM for Accuracy and Speed

October 1, 2025

Edge computing requires a physical footprint at the network edge in multiple locations. Maintaining configurations and inventory tracking for various Points of Presence (PoPs), spread out over a global footprint, with a mixed infrastructure environment –- such as colocation, bare metal, and VMs — is no simple task. Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) is an industry standard approach and very helpful for configuration but is also prone to human error which slows down deployments. In this talk originally presented at All Things Open 2025, Craig Jackson, DevOps Engineer at NetActuate, shows how to automate for DCIM and IP Address Management (IPAM) using Open Source Software (OSS) tooling, extend capabilities with additional plugins, and marshal data through the various APIs. By increasing automation and decreasing manual tasks in DCIM, administrators can accelerate global deployments to the network edge.
