Abstract
Described herein is an infrastructure management device. In accordance with one aspect, the infrastructure management device includes at least one communication interface to connect to and provide power to at least one information technology (IT) device, and communicate with at least one other infrastructure management device. The infrastructure management device may further include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory machine-readable media comprising instructions configured to cause at least one of the one or more processors to perform operations to manage the IT device.
Claims19
An infrastructure management device, comprising:
- a) at least one communication interface configured to
- connect to at least one information technology (IT) device,
- provide power to the IT device, and
- communicate with at least one other infrastructure management device;
- b) one or more processors;
- c) one or more non-transitory machine-readable media comprising instructions configured to cause at least one of the one or more processors to perform operations to manage the IT device;
- and
- d) a system bus communicatively connected to
- the at least one communication interface,
- the one or more processors, and
- the one or more non-transitory machine-readable media.
An infrastructure management method, comprising:
- configuring, via an interface management device, at least one IT device;
- discovering the at least one IT device connected over at least one communication interface to the infrastructure management device;
- indexing IT device information of the at least one IT device into a device index stored in the interface management device;
- clustering the infrastructure management device with at least one other infrastructure management device;
- searching the device index for the IT device information based on a search criterion;
- and
- performing at least one action, determined at least in part, by the IT device information, on the at least one IT device.
