1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving, at a processor of a managing computing server, a request for server inventory trends, wherein the managing computing server is in communication with one or more support servers, wherein the one or more support servers operate on one or more platforms, wherein the managing computing server is in communication with one or more databases comprising pertinent server information associated with the one or more support servers, and wherein the request comprises a trend selection;

    responsive to receiving the request, executing, at the processor, one or more Structured Query Language (SQL) procedures and one or more SQL queries, wherein the one or more SQL procedures and the one or more SQL queries cause the processor to retrieve the pertinent server information from one or more databases based, at least in part, on the trend selection, and wherein the pertinent server information comprises whether the one or more support servers are active, deactivated, retired, when they were added, and when they were retired;

    transferring, at the processor, the pertinent server information from the one or more databases to a fusion chart as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) data string, and storing the fusion chart in the managing computing server;

    plotting, at the fusion chart, the pertinent server information, wherein the plotting generates output data; and

    outputting, at the processor, the output data, wherein the output data includes modified stats and total stats associated with the one or more support servers, and wherein the output data is displayed at intervals.
