NetBox is an open-source platform used for network infrastructure management and documentation, helping organizations track networks, devices, IP addresses, circuits, and racks. Sunbird’s new NetBox connector programmatically pulls device, port, and cabling data from NetBox into dcTrack using a preconfigured base XML connector, driving automation and giving you a single pane of glass and single source of truth across your entire infrastructure.

Across the United States, data center projects are being stalled, local governments are putting ordinances in place to limit data center buildouts, all because people hate data centers. Due to community pushback, in Q1 2026 alone, over $130 billion’s worth of AI data center projects has been blocked or delayed.

Idle resources in your data center are a liability. Every unused server drawing power, every underutilized rack consuming cooling capacity, and every stranded port sitting dark on a switch represents money spent with no operational return. That's always been true for traditional compute. It's even more consequential as organizations invest in GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, where the hardware is an order of magnitude more expensive and the cost of underutilization scales accordingly.
