# Question

Can we track occupied and free spaces in data center racks?

# Answer

This scenario can be implemented with third-party software, for example, some of our customers use NetBox for this, which can be integrated with Swarmica. This way, the accounting of racks, equipment positions in units, and space reservation is done in the infrastructure accounting system, while requests and works are managed in Swarmica.

Related objects can be represented as Swarmica assets and linked to requests through integration. The data about racks and equipment placement to be transferred is defined in the integration setup.

The tracking of occupied and free spaces is done in NetBox. Swarmica uses the согласованные данные об инфраструктуре as the context for requests.
