Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems provide the automatic tracking and management of information technology components and their corresponding power supplies. These systems automatically identify when a given IT component, such as a server, router, switch or other device, is connected or disconnected from a particular power outlet. When a server is connected or disconnected from a particular power outlet, the tracking database is automatically updated, and users of the database have instantaneously accurate information about which IT components are plugged into each power outlet in a data center. If the server is changed to a different outlet, the system immediately identifies that the given server or device is connected to a different outlet. Users can rely on the information in the database when remotely managing the power supplies of the data center's IT assets.
