| Dimension | Source H | Source A |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | Rack tables + cables | Network SoT + automation |
| APIs | Minimal | REST + GraphQL + webhooks |
| Jobs/events | None as platform | First-class |
| Domain breadth | Physical focus | DCIM + IPAM + circuits + cloud + … |
Use Source H as a historical minimal DCIM reference for simplicity. Use Source A when building a modern network inventory and automation product.
