What it is
Device42 is a self-hosted platform for discovering and managing assets across data centers, cloud environments, and hybrid IT. It combines CMDB, DCIM, ITAM, IPAM, password management, and application dependency mapping. Automatic discovery can identify network devices through SNMP and cloud resources in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and OpenStack. Data center modeling covers buildings, rooms, racks, cabling, and patch panels, with visual layouts and power and temperature heat maps. Core capabilities include inventory, integrations, REST APIs, webhooks, warranty and SSL certificate management, cable and password management, and IPAM. The product also tracks software licenses, contracts, and barcodes, and lists more than 30 integrations including Freshservice, Jira, ServiceNow, Puppet, Splunk, and Zapier. Devices with IP addresses count toward licensing; non-IP assets do not, and user seats are unlimited. Device42 runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted deployments.
