| Class Name | Table Name | Extends from | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinet | cmdb_ci_container_cabinet | cmdb_ci_equipment_holder | A telecommunications cabinet, also known as a telecom cabinet or equipment cabinet, is a physical enclosure used to house and protect various telecommunications and network equipment, such as switches, routers, patch panels, and power supplies. It provides a secure and organized environment for the installation, management, and interconnection of telecommunications infrastructure within a network or data center. |
| Multi Rack | cmdb_ci_container_multi_rack | cmdb_ci_equipment_holder | A multi-rack, also referred to as a multi-rack system or multi-rack enclosure, is a configuration consisting of multiple interconnected equipment racks used for housing and organizing a large amount of telecommunications or network equipment in a centralized manner. It provides expanded capacity and scalability, allowing for efficient deployment and management of equipment within data centers or telecommunication facilities. |
| Rack | cmdb_ci_container_rack | cmdb_ci_equipment_holder | A rack, commonly known as a server rack or equipment rack, is a framework designed to securely hold and organize various IT and telecommunications equipment, such as servers, networking devices, and storage units. It provides a standardized form factor for easy installation, organization, and maintenance of equipment in data centers and other technology environments. |
| Shelf | cmdb_ci_container_shelf | cmdb_ci_equipment_holder | A shelf holder, also known as a rack shelf or equipment shelf, is a component designed to support and hold non-rackmount equipment or devices within a rack or equipment cabinet. It provides a stable platform for equipment that does not have built-in rackmount capabilities, allowing for efficient organization and integration of various devices within the rack infrastructure. |
| Slot | cmdb_ci_container_slot | cmdb_ci_equipment_holder | In the context of technology and hardware, a slot refers to a physical or virtual receptacle designed to hold and accommodate a specific type of component, such as an expansion card or memory module. It provides a
standardized interface and location for inserting and connecting the component to the main system or device. Dependent on Hardware (contains::contained by). Name is usually discoverable. If not available,use the name of the card that is contained in this slot. |
| Subslot | cmdb_ci_container_subslot | cmdb_ci_equipment_holder | In our context, a slot that is present on a Card and can accommodate child cards is considered a subslot. Dependent on Hardware (contains::contained by). Identification: Name (100). Name is discovered from SNMP. If not available, use the name of the card that is contained in this subslot. |
