Design Smarter Data Centers with Confidence

Everything You Need for Professional Data Center Design

Power and thermal management

Calculate power requirements, electrical load distribution, and BTU heat output to plan efficient rack deployments.

Smart rack visualization

Create detailed rack elevation diagrams, place devices accurately, and optimize available rack space.

Team collaboration

Edit rack plans with your team, share diagrams, and maintain design history.

Device library and reports

Use a comprehensive equipment catalog and export professional reports, bills of materials, and patching documentation.

Enterprise security

Protect infrastructure plans with encryption, role-based access controls, and multiple authentication providers.

Version control

Track design changes, maintain revision history, and connect engineering workflows with GitHub.

AI Assistant

Get recommendations for power efficiency, thermal management, capacity planning, and device placement.

Export and sharing

Export designs to PNG, PDF, DXF, SVG, and JSON, and share rack plans securely.

Calculate the Value of Better Rack Planning

StackCAD's ROI calculator estimates monthly and annual electricity savings from optimized rack planning. Its estimate uses a 15% efficiency improvement from reduced overprovisioning and better use of power, cooling, and rack capacity.

StackCAD includes more than 80 device models, precise power calculations, real-time collaboration, and four or more export formats.

For Network Engineers, By Network Engineers

StackCAD was built by experienced network professionals to address power calculation errors, thermal planning mistakes, and disconnected data center design tools.

After eight years designing enterprise data centers, founder and lead engineer Nathan Escobar built StackCAD to give engineers the precision tools they need.

Our Mission: Sustainable Data Center Design

Plan infrastructure based on actual demand, reduce overprovisioning, and improve power, cooling, and space utilization. Accurate power calculations, thermal modeling, and space optimization help organizations build only what they need while maintaining performance.
