INTELLIGENT ASSET TAGS & SENSORS

ACCURATE ASSET MANAGEMENT
EVEN MODEST-SIZE DATA CENTERS HAVE AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF
IT ASSETS, FROM SERVERS TO STORAGE NETWORKING EQUIPMENT.

Tracking these assets is often accomplished using Excel® spreadsheets and Visio® diagrams, or by developing a home-grown system, which can be very labor intensive.
However, if you miss a few moves, adds or changes, it can become a challenge to know what you have and where it’s located. And while RFID tags have also been used to track assets, RFID readers are unreliable if they are closely packed in a metallic environment such as a rack. They can be expensive, too, especially when tagging hundreds of devices.

Raritan’s Asset Management Tags (AMTs) and Asset Management Sensors (AMSs) provide data center operators with an accurate, automated, real-time inventory of all IT assets and their locations, down to the 1U level. Each tag and sensor integrates with DCIM software to easily track assets, determine capacity in a number of areas, and manage adds, moves, or changes.
