Abstract:
The present invention relates to KVM switches that contain both remote and local ports and provide a user of the local port with a similar WEB based interface experience as that experienced by the remote user.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus provide for: measuring leakage current from a source of AC power, which provides power to at least one load circuit; and comparing the measured leakage current values against one or more predetermined thresholds to establish status therefor; and automatically performing self tests to determine whether the leakage current sensing and comparing operations are operative.
Abstract:
A method for environmentally cognizant power management that gathers server, application and environmental information from different devices to compute an aggregate behavior model.
Abstract:
A system and method of increasing the efficiency of overall power utilization in data centers by integrating a power management approach based on a comprehensive, dynamic model of the data center created with integrated environmental and computational power monitoring to correlate power usage with different configurations of business services utilization, with the techniques of CPU level power management.
Abstract:
A system and method of associating the identification of a server with its physical location thorough the use of an asset management strip and asset management tags. The asset management strip is extendable by means of slave asset management strips. The asset tags are attached to data center components, such as servers, in racks. They are removably attached to the asset strip and provide identification information to the asset strip. The asset strip can correlate the identification information with the location where the tag attaches to the strip. The strip provides the rack identity to management software over a network, which includes an indication of a vertical location on the rack of the component and the component identification data.

Abstract:
The invention relates generally to the field of power management in data centers and more specifically to the automatic discovery and association of connectivity relationships between power outlets and IT equipment, and to methods of operating data centers having automatic connectivity discovery capabilities.
Abstract:
An association between a system's in-band identification credentials with out-of-band identification credentials may arise by making a universal serial bus device emulation in the form of either a virtual mass storage device or a virtual network adaptor. In the case of the former, a machine readable name is decoded to determine which KVM port a target device is connected to. Such can be used to associate a system's known in-band identification credentials with decoded out-of-band identification credentials from the virtual mass storage device. In the case of the latter, the target may be searched and queried through an out-of-band path to ascertain in-band identification credentials.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus provide for: detecting an identification (ID) number associated with a piece of information technology (IT) equipment using a first computer-readable and executable program running on the piece of IT equipment; modulating a power usage of the piece of IT equipment as a function of the ID number using the first program running on the piece of IT equipment; monitoring the power usage of the piece of IT equipment using a power distribution unit (PDU) that provides operating power to the piece of IT equipment; and detecting modulation in the power usage of the piece of IT equipment caused by the first program running on the piece of IT equipment, such detection being performed using a second computer-readable and executable program running on the PDU.
