DCIM Migration — Clean Asset Data for NetBox, Device42, and dcTrack
DCIM Migration with Struktive
Migrate to NetBox, Device42, or dcTrack with clean, normalised asset data. Struktive transforms unstructured DC data into import-ready records.
The migration problem
- Vendor names in 15 different formats — 'dell inc.', 'DELL', 'Dell, Inc.' — all need manual reconciliation.
- Location strings like 'A-12-24', 'NYC-DC1-A-R03-U24', 'Rack 3 Row B' cannot be imported without parsing.
- NetBox requires device type slugs that must exist in the DeviceType Library — unknown models fail silently.
- No way to know what will fail before running the import.
What Struktive delivers
- All vendor names normalised to canonical form using 250+ alias rules and acquisition history.
- Location hierarchy parsed from any format — Site, Rack, and U position extracted and structured.
- NetBox DeviceType Library validation: matched devices get the correct slug, unmatched flagged.
- Duplicate detection across serial number, IP address, and vendor+model+rack+U composite key.
- Pre-flight report shows exactly what to create in your DCIM before running the import.
Supported DCIM platforms
