Assignee:

AVOCENT HUNTSVILLE CORP. - Huntsville AL

International Classification:

H04L 12/24

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

A system is disclosed that forms a base platform that enables a plurality of objects to be used in forming a plurality of different domain models. The system may have a common data model repository (CDMR) having an object relational mapping layer for mapping instances of the objects to persistent storage. The instances of objects may represent information that includes connections and control capabilities for at least certain ones of the instances of objects, and the CDMR may implement the connections and control capabilities in relation to managed elements.

International Classification:

G06F 1/32

US Classification:

713320

Abstract:

A system for monitoring, controlling and optimizing power usage and cooling utilization within a data center infrastructure. The system may make use of a subsystem which is adapted to obtain real time information on both facility devices and information technology (IT) devices. The subsystem may be used to evaluate the real time information to provide an alert and diagnostic information with respect to at least one of the facility devices or at least one of the IT devices. The subsystem may also make use of a mechanism that provides real time control over at least one of the facility devices or at least one of the IT devices to optimize at least one of cooling utilization, power usage or performance of at least one of the facility devices or at least one of the IT devices.
