Netbox As Your Source of Truth

Does the following sound familiar?

IP addresses and subnets are tracked in Excel spreadsheets. DNS records exist only on the DNS server. No one can tell you which version of the Excel file is the current one and whether the data contained in it is up to date.

The servers rack layout is tracked in a Visio file that hasn’t been updated in years and looks nothing like the actual rack anymore. There are numerous switches in the building taped to the bottom of desks to create extra network ports, and none are registered in the CMDB, let alone tagged with an asset label.

Those IP addresses in the firewall access list - does anyone know who they belong to? A customer? A supplier? Are they still needed?

And when is the last time anyone has ever actually tested a backup and restore of these records, files, and configurations?

When new staff join, they spend months just figuring out where anything is kept. Was it on SharePoint, Google Sheets, or maybe the old file server?

Changes take forever and are rarely documented properly. The chaos only compounds as your business grows. There has to be a better way.
