Abstract: A method can include acquiring sensor data via a sensor for a fingertip in contact with a surface; identifying a finger of the fingertip based on the sensor data and stored data, where the identifying identifies the finger as one of at least two different fingers of a hand; pairing the identified finger with the surface to determine a finger and surface pair; comparing the finger and surface pair to a reference pair; and, based on the comparing, issuing a signal.

Abstract: A method includes identifying configuration information of a server being deployed, which includes a configuration and software requirements, and the server is managed by a management server through a management controller controlling a host hosting the server. The method includes retrieving a recommended setup of hardware and software for the server based on the configuration information and retrieving, from a deployment tracking module, a recommended deviation. The method includes creating a deployment file based on the recommended setup and deviation, and transmitting the deployment file to the management controller, which uses the deployment file to configure the server.
