Method and apparatus for managing assets within a datacenter
First Claim
1. A system comprising an asset optimization system that includes:
- a data storage arranged to store data including server data relating to a plurality of servers, and datacenter data that includes a list of cabinets within a datacenter into which each of the servers is physically locatable;
a hardware processor arranged to process data and generate an output, the processor being configured to;
compare at least one server parameter associated with one of the servers and at least one cabinet of the datacenter; and
determine a physical location for each of the servers within the cabinets of the datacenter according to the comparison, the determined physical location being chosen to optimize performance and management of the server and/or the servers within the datacenter; and
a display arranged to display the output, the display being arranged to display the determined physical location to a user of the system.

21. A method comprising managing assets in a manner that includes:
-
providing a data storage for storing data; storing in the data storage server data relating to a plurality of servers, and datacenter data that includes a list of cabinets within a datacenter into which each of the servers is physically locatable; providing a hardware processor for processing data; comparing, by the processor, at least one server parameter associated with one of the servers and at least one cabinet of the datacenter; determining, by the processor, a physical location for each of the servers within cabinets of the datacenter according to the comparison, the determined physical location being chosen to optimize performance and management of the server and/or the servers within the datacenter; providing a display for outputting data; and displaying the determined physical location to a user of the system via the display. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
