Abstract: A computer-implemented method for optimizing a quality of service of a network includes: determining (i) a set of configuration settings of a plurality of devices and (ii) a set of capabilities of the plurality of devices located within a coverage area of a wireless network; determining a set of capabilities of a plurality of wireless access points of the wireless network; determining an underutilized network capability of the wireless network based, at least in part, on the set of configuration settings of the plurality of devices, the set of capabilities of the plurality of devices, and the set of capabilities of the plurality of wireless access points; and configuring one or more wireless access points of the plurality of wireless access points based, at least in part, on the underutilized network capability. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automated setup of a wireless datacenter. A computer-based wireless management and discovery system communicates with datacenter computers (nodes) via a management service set identifier (SSID). The wireless management and discovery system establishes a list of eligible wireless channels that can be used for the datacenter by scanning wireless channels currently in use. Each wireless datacenter node is assigned an SSID that corresponds to the datacenter. A transmission test is performed to set a minimum transmit power for upstream and downstream communication between the datacenter nodes and corresponding wireless access points. Once the minimum transmission power levels are established, the datacenter node enters an operational mode using the assigned SSID. The setup is accomplished without human intervention. Once in operational mode, the datacenter node performs its intended datacenter function.
