Free/Open Source Data Center Asset Management

Can anyone recommend asset management software for data center devices? Preferably something free, but if it's worth spending the money, I'd consider it. Anything great out there?

I'm searching myself, so thought I'd ask here as well.

Spiceworks?

Do you use it? Do you like it?

It wasn't bad. Not as robust as a paid-for app but is capable in its own right. Give it a shot. Worst case scenario is it costs you a few minutes in download/setup and you have to uninstall.

I have used it and like it.

Thanks for the link. After looking further into it, I'm looking for a way to track assets(servers and other devices) in a data center, what cabinet they're in, what power lines they're hooked up to, what interfaces are connected to what switch/router, etc.

Anyone know of something like that? I know I'm going to have to manually enter that type of info... just looking for an app that may have a nice way of managing it.

Ok. That's a bit different then.

What about the combination of:

Excel / Visio or OpenOffice Calc / Dia

I've got something that will probably interest you and I believe it's open source. Let me dig around and try to find it.
