I manage hundreds of servers at work. They each have a BMC (remote power on/off, reset, KVM, etc) and we need to use those features frequently. I’ve been using a Google Docs spreadsheet to track their URLs, what each box is used for, specs, etc but it feels like a dynamic web app would be better for this purpose. Does anyone use anything like this? Did you make your own?

    This seems like a good use case for a cluster manager. I’ve used xCAT in the past and recently Lenovo has an interesting project called Confluent that includes a web interface. A paid option would be Bright. These are made to manage hundreds to thousands of nodes.
