Abstract
Methods and systems provide the automatic tracking of the physical location of information technology components in a data center. These systems automatically identify where a given IT component, such as a server, router, switch or other device, is located. They automatically identify which slot the IT component is located in a given rack in the data center. They include “smart” brackets containing small ID chips attached to the rack-based IT components and a “smart” rack rail for detecting the brackets. Each smart bracket uniquely identifies the IT component to which it is attached. The smart rack rail identifies the slot of the rack in which the IT component resides and communicates with a microcontroller to relay the position information to a database.
