Plan, diagram, and design server racks in a purpose-built CAD tool. Drag-and-drop real devices with accurate dimensions, then generate 2D rack diagrams, weight reports, and cable maps instantly.
A real CAD tool for racks — not a drawing app with stencils.

| Standardized XML export (RackML) |
Every rack design produces publication-ready 2D diagrams — front elevation, rear elevation, scale views, connection maps, and weight analysis — all generated in one click and always in sync with your design.
Everything you need to design, document, and manage datacenter racks.
Drop appliances into your rack. Dimensions, weight, and power specs populate automatically.
100% browser-based. Works on any device with a modern browser. No plugins or downloads.
Real RU heights, depths, and weights. Never order equipment that won't fit.
Share projects with your team. Everyone sees the same up-to-date rack layout.
Export to RackML, an open XML standard. Your data is never locked in.
Live totals update as you build. Catch overloaded racks before they ship.
SAML/Okta single sign-on, role-based access control, and dedicated support.
Generate front/rear elevations, scale views, connection maps, and weight reports instantly.
Track port-to-port connections with cable type, speed, and routing.
Define every cable run from source port to destination port. OpenRack tracks cable types, speeds, and lengths — then generates connection diagrams and network topology views automatically.
Rack planning needs a CAD tool, not a drawing tool. What takes 4 hours in Visio takes 20 minutes in OpenRack.
Visio and draw.io give you shapes, not data. Move a server and nothing else updates — weight totals, power budgets, and port maps all go stale.
Rack inventory in one spreadsheet, diagrams in another tool, port maps in a third. A single equipment swap means updating three places.
Counting rack units, calculating weight distribution, tracing cable paths — all tasks that should be automatic.
Join infrastructure teams who replaced Visio and spreadsheets with cloud-based rack CAD.
