Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a data center management and monitoring operation. The data center management and monitoring operation includes: receiving data center asset part data from a plurality of data part information sources within a data center, each part data information source including at last one part; managing data center part inventory within a data center parts cache; and, causing contents of the data center parts cache to be updated based upon the data center part data from the plurality of data center assets within the data center.
Claims20
A computer-implementable method for performing a data center management and monitoring operation, comprising:
- receiving data center asset part data from a plurality of data part information sources within a data center, each part data information source including at last one part;
- managing data center part inventory within a data center parts cache, the data center parts cache comprising a repository in which data center asset parts are stored, the data center asset parts being readily accessible should a part of a data center asset operating with the data center need to be replaced;
- and,
- causing contents of the data center parts cache to be updated based upon the data center part data from the plurality of data center assets within the data center.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- a data center asset client module;
- and,
- a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
- receiving data center asset part data from a plurality of data part information sources within a data center, each part data information source including at last one part;
- managing data center part inventory within a data center parts cache, the data center parts cache comprising a repository in which data center asset parts are stored, the data center asset parts being readily accessible should a part of a data center asset operating with the data center need to be replaced;
- and,
- causing contents of the data center parts cache to be updated based upon the data center part data from the plurality of data center assets within the data center.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
- receiving data center asset part data from a plurality of data part information sources within a data center, each part data information source including at last one part;
- managing data center part inventory within a data center parts cache, the data center parts cache comprising a repository in which data center asset parts are stored, the data center asset parts being readily accessible should a part of a data center asset operating with the data center need to be replaced;
- and,
- causing contents of the data center parts cache to be updated based upon the data center part data from the plurality of data center assets within the data center.
