  • Monitoring environmental parameters associated with computer equipment
    Patent number: 10216604
    Abstract: A method for monitoring environmental parameters associated with computer equipment is described. According to the method a number of environmental parameters related to a number of computing devices are measured using a number of sensors associated with, and located at, a number of computing devices. The sensed environmental parameters are displayed, with a computer, based on an actual view of the number of computing devices. The displayed sensed environmental parameters create a spatial relation with a space to which each sensed environmental parameter pertains.

  • Monitoring space usage in a computer rack
    Patent number: 9607221
    Abstract: Monitoring space usage in a computer rack includes, with a computer, analyzing a number of mounting fixtures in an electronic image of a computer rack to determine a fixture mapping for the computer rack, with a computer, identifying, based on the electronic image and the fixture mapping, a number of computer systems in the computer rack to create a rack system map, and, with a computer, comparing the rack system map to data in an infrastructure management system to identify discrepancies.
