Datacenter capacity enhancement

Our goal is to use device42 for capacity management (datacenter capacity management)

- Power capacity management : we deploy metered pdu to follow power capacity per rack. It help us to update power contract per rack if consummation is to high in a rack or stop adding more device in a rack if we reach a power threshold.
I could be great to specify for each rack or PDU maximum power allowed (field in rack or PDU detail) and have report on power capacity. (alert by daily report when power usage is more than xx% of power capacity)

- U management : to know how many free U is available to add more devices

I know it is difficult to know that.
In D42, we have that :
Buildings:  NN 
Rooms: NN
Racks: NNNN
Total U Space: NNNNU
Total Used U Space: NNNNU
Total Free U Space: NNNNU

But it is potential free U space, we can’t use NNNN U space because of power in racks.

My proposition is to add “unusable flag” for Us in racks. I could be great when we don’t have any device in a U, but this one is unusable for some reason or we don’t want to use it.
It would be great to add a flag as “rack full” in order to mark this rack with its capacity full. We decide to never add something in (because of power reason, or just because we want)
Add in building statistic dashboard : Unusable U Space
Total Free U Space = Total U Space - Total Used U Space - Unusable U Space

It would be great to have U capacity report by Rack / room / building

feel free to discuss about it.
