This free Microsoft download called the "Rack Server Virtualization Add-in" provides the capability to pull the rack-server data either from an Excel spread sheet or from the user and render the Visio diagram.

With over 70% of server hardware being under-utilized, this very valuable tool can draw a clear picture of your hardware utilization. This tool auto-generates the diagram of your rack and provides clear server details from a linked Excel template. Analyze your racks and servers using WMI or get the utilization data over time using the Operations Manager connection. Microsoft Visio 2007 Add-In for Rack Server Virtualization (Virtual Rack) uses various new features of Visio 2007 to display the details of servers, racks and colors present in the Data Centre. This add-in enables consolidation of physical servers by allowing many virtual servers to run concurrently on one physical server results in improvement of system utilization, reduction in number of physical servers, lowering costs, increasing flexibility etc. The Visio 2007 Add-In provides users a virtualization picture in addition to the existing picture of the rack based on some parameters to compare the power consumption and space saving before and after consolidation. Use the virtualization button to see the before and after detailed diagram of your racks. See clearly where you have the opportunity to save on space and power.
