## What it is
Ralph is a full-featured open-source Asset Management, DCIM, and CMDB system for data centers and back offices, built with Django. It tracks hardware asset purchases and life cycles with flexible workflows and built-in data center visualization.

## Use cases
- track data center hardware inventory
- manage asset purchase and lifecycle records
- visualize data center rack layouts
- maintain a CMDB for back office hardware
- record asset assignments and decommissioning

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted DCIM/CMDB for data center or back office hardware
- you want lifecycle workflows and DC visualization in one tool
- you prefer a Django/Python stack you can customize

## When to avoid
- you need a vendor with guaranteed support or contribution-based development
- you need modern actively-developed features beyond maintenance-level investment
- you manage only virtual/cloud assets rather than physical hardware

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: self-hosted, developer-tools, analytics
- domain: infrastructure-as-code, self-hosted
- platform: python
- tags: dcim, cmdb, asset-management, inventory-management, data-center, django, backoffice, devops, data-engineering, web-server, docker, linux
