International Classification:

H04L 12/24

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to a system for controlling a plurality of managed devices. The system may involve a manageability services module adapted to facilitate communication between the plurality of managed devices and a central user located remotely from the plurality of managed devices. The system may also involve a manageability engine module that communicates with the manageability services module. The manageability engine module may have an element library storing parameters associated with the plurality of managed devices, and may be configured to perform a number of useful operations such as: facilitating communication between the managed devices and the manageability services module; discovering a new managed device; and collecting, aggregating and providing real time analytics on the data collected from the managed devices. A database may be used to store data collected by the manageability engine module.

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.
