Hyperview

Hyperview is a cloud-based data center infrastructure management platform for tracking infrastructure assets and conditions. Agentless discovery gathers information about network-connected servers, storage, PDUs, network devices, sensors, virtual machines and cloud instances. Monitoring covers power, energy, capacity, temperature and humidity, with alerts and heat maps. Users can view infrastructure in 2D or 3D, create dashboards and room layouts, and arrange items with drag-and-drop. Hyperview provides a versioned REST API and pages for ServiceNow CMDB synchronization and bringing Equinix Smart View data into the platform. It is hosted on Microsoft Azure, with region choices including US West, US East, Canada Central, EU North, UAE North and APAC SEA. The listed price is $3 per asset per year, with a 500-asset minimum; add-ons are priced separately. A 30-day trial includes all features and requires no credit card. Included limits specify 10 sensors per asset, 30 days of full-resolution sensor retention, three years of daily summaries and 5 MB of document storage per asset.

Hyperview brings asset discovery, environmental and capacity monitoring, and visualization into a cloud DCIM platform. Review the asset minimum and included storage and retention limits when assessing the listed per-asset price.

Hyperview is aimed at data center managers, colocation providers, systems administrators, network engineers and CIOs managing infrastructure assets and conditions.

Hyperview is a cloud DCIM service for organizations that need one operational view of equipment, environmental readings, and facility capacity. It suits data-center managers, colocation providers, systems administrators, network engineers, and CIOs with sizable inventories. The platform is strongest when broad discovery and visual planning matter, but its 500-asset minimum rules out many smaller deployments.

Overview

Hyperview combines agentless discovery, infrastructure monitoring, and visual planning in a Microsoft Azure-hosted service. Discovery gathers information from network-connected servers, storage, PDUs, network devices, sensors, virtual machines, and cloud instances. That breadth can give teams a common inventory across physical and virtual environments without installing agents on each asset.

Operational views cover power, energy, capacity, temperature, and humidity. Alerts and heat maps help teams identify abnormal conditions, while room layouts, 2D and 3D views, custom dashboards, and drag-and-drop tools connect readings to the spaces and racks being managed. Cloud deployment avoids maintaining a local installation, and region selection includes US West, US East, Canada Central, EU North, UAE North, and APAC SEA.

Key features

Discovery, racks, and capacity

Agentless discovery is useful for establishing inventory across servers, storage, networking, sensors, virtual machines, and cloud instances. Rack management and space and capacity planning extend that inventory into physical allocation decisions, making Hyperview more suitable for facility operations than a basic configuration database.

Environmental and power monitoring

Power and energy monitoring support electrical oversight, while temperature and humidity readings address environmental risk. Alerts focus attention on conditions requiring intervention, and heat maps make patterns easier to interpret across a room or facility. The included allowance is 10 sensors per asset, with 30 days of full-resolution sensor retention and three years of daily summaries. That combination favors recent troubleshooting and longer-term trend analysis, but organizations needing more sensor density or longer detailed history should check whether the included limits are sufficient.

Visualization and integrations

Two- and three-dimensional views, room layouts, dashboards, and drag-and-drop editing provide a spatial way to communicate capacity and operating conditions. A versioned REST API supports integrations, while dedicated pages address ServiceNow CMDB synchronization and importing Equinix Smart View data. These options are relevant to teams that need Hyperview connected to existing service-management or colocation workflows.

Security and service

Hyperview states that it provides SOC 2 Type II compliance, encryption in transit and at rest, and access controls down to the asset level. The free Self Service success pack includes documentation, developer material, product tours, how-to videos, community forums, helpdesk support, and feature requests, giving teams several routes to adoption without a separately described support charge.

Pricing

The 30-day free trial costs $0, includes all features, and requires no credit card. It is the practical way to validate discovery coverage, dashboards, and retention needs before committing.

The Hyperview plan costs $3 per asset per year, billed per asset and per year, with a 500-asset minimum. Core features are included and add-ons are priced separately; qualifying regions apply and taxes are excluded. The minimum means the effective starting commitment is 1,500 USD annually before taxes or add-ons, so this plan is aimed at substantial inventories rather than small server rooms. Included pricing covers up to 10 sensors per asset, 30 days of full-resolution sensor data, three years of daily summaries, and 5 MB of document storage per asset.

The Connectivity add-on is $2 per asset per year. Network mapping and reporting, document/media association, and IP address management are identified as coming soon, so buyers should not treat those capabilities as current reasons to purchase the add-on.

Platforms

Hyperview is delivered as a cloud service and supports Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, web access, and an API. That combination supports browser-based operations, mobile access, and programmatic integration while leaving hosting to the vendor.

Who it's for

Choose Hyperview when a data-center operation needs asset discovery, rack and capacity planning, environmental monitoring, and spatial visualization in one platform. Colocation operators and teams managing distributed physical and virtual infrastructure are the clearest fit. Smaller inventories, organizations seeking a free tier, or buyers unwilling to meet a 500-asset minimum should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Agentless discovery spans physical, virtual, and cloud assets; power, energy, temperature, humidity, and capacity monitoring are combined with alerts and heat maps; 2D/3D layouts and dashboards support spatial planning; REST API, ServiceNow, and Equinix Smart View options aid integration; asset-level access controls and stated SOC 2 Type II compliance address governance.
• Cons: The 500-asset minimum creates a high entry commitment for smaller sites; sensor, detailed-retention, and document-storage allowances may constrain data-heavy operations; the Connectivity add-on currently points to capabilities coming soon rather than fully available functions.

Alternatives

For a broader capacity-management shortlist, see IT Capacity Management Software and Data Center Infrastructure Management Software.

Infovista VistaPlan is worth considering when self-hosted deployment or macOS support matters and you are prepared to request a demo for pricing. Pick FNT Command instead when a per-user Asset Inventory plan with lifecycle management, location management, reports, and permissions is the priority; it costs €99 a month when billed annually. ITRS Capacity Planner is another paid option across Android, iOS, Linux, web, and Windows.

Sunbird dcTrack suits buyers wanting unlimited users, sites, and assets at $19.50 a month on an annual subscription, or $234 per cabinet annually. EcoStruxure IT offers a three-year Expert plan for 250 nodes. Google Cloud Capacity Planner is the choice for eligible organizations seeking a free preview with no additional tool charge, while Globberry Capacity Management and Rocket EDX provide other paid alternatives.

Verdict

Hyperview is a strong choice for data-center and colocation teams with at least 500 assets that want discovery, environmental and power monitoring, and visual capacity planning in one cloud platform. Its main reason to choose it is the breadth of infrastructure views and integrations; its main reason to look elsewhere is the minimum commitment and bounded sensor, retention, and storage allowances.
