Telemetry system supporting identification of data center zones

A system for utilizing telemetry data to identify zones within a data center, the system comprising:

• a plurality of IHSs (Information Handling Systems), each respective IHS comprising a remote access controller providing remote management of the respective IHS, wherein the plurality of IHSs are configured to report metric data, and wherein the metric data reported by each respective IHS identifies a location of the respective IHS within the data center;
• and
• a remote management application configured to:
• analyze the reported metric data to identify a first metric that is correlated with locations within the data center;
• within the first metric data, identify a first zone of the data center that comprises a subset of the plurality of IHSs that reported anomalous first metric data relative to neighboring IHSs;
• and
• adjust operations of the data center within the first zone in order to address the anomalous readings of the first metric data by the subset of IHSs.

A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon for utilizing telemetry data to identify zones within a data center comprised of a plurality of IHSs (Information Handling Systems), wherein upon execution by one or more processors, the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

• analyze metric data collected from the plurality of IHSs, wherein the metric data collected from each of the respective IHSs identifies a location of the respective IHS within the data center, and wherein the collected metric data is analyzed to identify a first metric that is correlated with locations within the data center;
• within the first metric data, identify a first zone of the data center that comprises a subset of the plurality of IHSs that reported anomalous first metric data relative to neighboring IHSs;
• and
• adjust operations of the data center within the first zone in order to address the anomalous readings of the first metric data by the subset of IHSs.
