Our Story
InfraPanel wasn't planned as a product. It started as frustration with the tools that were supposed to make infrastructure management easier — and didn't.
The problem
After 16 years in network engineering — from field technician to leading teams across global data centres — I'd used every DCIM tool on the market. They all shared the same fundamental flaw: they were built for people who look at infrastructure from a distance, not for the engineers standing in front of the rack.
Rack elevation views that were static images. Cable management that required 15 clicks to document a single patch. Power tracking that stopped at the PDU and never reached the outlet. Change management that was a text box and a pray. Multi-tenant support that meant "add a label to the rack."
The breaking point came during a late-night change window. I was cross-referencing three different systems — the DCIM for rack layout, a spreadsheet for power connections, and a wiki for the change procedure — while trying to trace a cable that the DCIM said existed but the rack clearly disagreed. There had to be a better way.
The approach
InfraPanel is built around one principle: if the tool doesn't help you do the job faster, it's getting in the way. Every feature exists because it solves a problem I've personally encountered in a data centre.
The rack view isn't a static diagram — it's an interactive editor where you can drag devices, hover ports to see what's connected, and trace cables visually. Because that's what you actually do during a rack walk.
The AI isn't a chatbot. It's 12 domain-specific templates covering every type of data centre work — from racking to decommission — that generate procedures, risk assessments, and rollback plans referencing the actual equipment in the change. Because "write a change description" shouldn't take longer than the change itself.
What makes it different
Built by the user
Not by a product team guessing what engineers need. Every feature is tested against real infrastructure management workflows.
Multi-tenant from day one
Not bolted on after launch. Organisation-scoped access to rack units, power ports, and network ports. Built for colocation operators, not retrofitted for them.
AI that understands data centres
Domain-specific templates, not generic AI. The difference between "write me a change plan" and "generate an implementation plan for a hot-swap drive replacement in rack A-01, RU 36, bay 4."
Shaped by feedback
The roadmap isn't set in a boardroom. Every feature is prioritised by the engineers using the platform. Your feedback directly shapes what gets built next.
