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. When a server is added or removed from a particular slot, the tracking database is automatically notified and updated, and users of the database have instantaneously accurate information about the location of each IT component in a data center. If the server is changed to a different slot or rack, the system immediately identifies that the given server or device is located in a different location. Users can rely on the information in the database when remotely managing the data center's IT assets.
