The goal being to add a grill for the server room for the layout of the rack in the room. (example : http://ralph-demo.allegro.tech/dc_view#/sr/196)

[jeremystretch]

NetBox intentionally uses ambiguous language like "rack group" and "site" because organization schemes vary widely among organizations. Thus, we would not introduce a "server room" model. However, there has been talk of making rack groups recursive (like regions). Would this address your request?

[jeremystretch]

Nested (recursive) rack groups was proposed in #1754.

Closing this out as it should be covered by #1754
