I Just Want to See How Something Is Physically Wired

I just want to see how something is physically wired.

Previously, you had to drive to the datacenter and spend most of your visit stuck at the security desk, waiting for someone to find you on their screen and badge you into the room.

I built net3d so I don't have to.

One continuous zoom takes you from a world map of your sites, into the building, all the way down to a single device sitting at its real U-position in the rack.

Global connectivity to the smallest detail of compute distribution without leaving your desk.

It's read-only by design.

NetBox stays the source of truth.

And net3d never connects to your devices directly.

But the part I keep coming back to isn't the 3D.

When live data is available, links turn green or red as interfaces go up and down. net3d can also compare what NetBox documents with what your devices report over LLDP, then draw the links that are missing from the documentation.

The cable nobody recorded shows up as a dashed line, right where it lives.

That is the gap every operator knows is there, but almost never gets to see.

I'm not trying to sell a product.

I want to show what is possible when we start from a clear intent: building something shaped around the way we actually work, instead of bending our use case to fit someone else's product.

And I already see so much more from here:

temperature,
power draw,
live bandwidth,
capacity,
environmental data,

all painted directly onto the rack in front of you.
