  • Patent number: 9933830
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for identifying power line segments and power line redundancies in a datacenter are provided. The computer-implemented method for identifying power line segments and power line redundancies in a datacenter include; transmitting a data packet from equipment compilers to a host program, where the data packet includes unique datacenter equipment identifiers, the datacenter equipment includes IT equipment and a power source; identifying one or more power line segments from the power source to the IT equipment; and determining an existence of a power line redundancy between the power source and the IT equipment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8913850
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for determining the physical location of a physical asset in a physical area. A plurality of physical assets are controlled to cause each physical asset to output a visual output pattern on visual output elements of the physical asset. An image of a target physical asset is captured that has the current state of the visual output elements. An identification of the target physical asset is determined based on the current state of the visual output elements. A physical location of the target physical asset is determined based on a physical location of the image capture device when the image was captured. Location data identifying the determined physical location of the target physical asset is stored in an asset database in association with configuration information for the physical asset.
