Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing improved air-cooling for resource components of data center devices. A controller receives temperature sensor data from at least one temperature sensor and receives power usage data from at least one power usage sensor. The temperature sensor data corresponds to an operating temperature of resource components, while the power usage data corresponds to a combined power usage of at least the resource components and a cooling system. The controller determines at least one control level for the cooling system to optimize an output of the cooling system to reduce the operating temperature of the resource components while maintaining the combined power usage as power usage of the cooling system is increased and the power usage of the resource components is decreased due to the reduced operating temperature of the resource components. The controller causes the cooling system to operate at the determined control level.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting unidentified inventory in a network. In one embodiment, data that was collected from a plurality of network devices is received. The data includes at least one device identifier for a neighboring network device of at least one network device of the plurality of network devices. The at least one device identifier for the neighboring network device is compared to one or more device identifiers of known network devices. In response to determining that the at least one device identifier for the neighboring network device does not match a device identifier for the known network devices, the at least one device identifier is added to a list of unidentified inventory.
