RFID electronic tags protect data centers

The core of daily operation and maintenance of data centers is to ensure the uninterrupted operation of business systems at an appropriate cost and make full use of resources. Therefore, the management of IT Assets that carry these businesses and the effective management of capacity (resources) are particularly important. On the other hand, capacity planning and management also directly determine the management level of data centers. However, in the operation and maintenance management of data centers, monitoring and prediction are not supported by basic data, and asset information maintenance, positioning, inventory, life cycle management and other problems are difficult, resulting in inaccurate asset information, low ASSET MANAGEMENT efficiency, and even affecting the healthy operation of business systems.

In order to solve these problems, RFID electronic tag technology is used to identify network equipment, and a network equipment database and a personnel information database are established. Inspection personnel can scan the equipment to be inspected through RFID handheld terminals, inspect the network equipment item by item according to the preset inspection items, and record the data. After discovering problems and hidden dangers, they are handled in time to ensure the normal and stable operation of the computer room.

RFID technology collects the characteristic information of the object to be identified and processes it through intermediate software to achieve information fusion, sharing and long-distance transmission.

The data center asset intelligent management system based on RFID technology will make full use of the advantages of RFID technology to carry out multi-link management and control:

1. Physical asset management issues: Establish a unified computer room physical information management interface, provide information entry, modification, query and recycling functions, record the serial number, name, type, location, department and purpose of the equipment, and connect with the existing process platform of the department.

2. Asset inventory management: Introduce electronic asset inventory means to solve the problems of large workload, low efficiency and easy errors in traditional inventory, and realize the information management of asset inventory activities.

3. Asset maintenance management: Establish and maintain maintenance contracts, realize the informatization of maintenance management, and avoid the hidden dangers and risks brought by equipment over-insurance to operation and maintenance activities.

The data center asset intelligent management system with RFID technology includes the following main links:

Asset electronic tag: Initialize each asset tag through the RFID Card issuer and associate it with IT equipment information as the unique identification of the equipment.

Intelligent asset detection system: Install RFID Readers to read and identify asset information in the cabinet and transmit the information to the acquisition server.

Asset management server: runs the intelligent asset management system, automatically detects RFID electronic tags to collect information, obtains real-time equipment status, and provides asset life cycle process management functions.

Management station: This system is a B/S structure, supports PC and mobile office computer access, and performs asset viewing, search and inventory management operations.

Handheld inventory device: Handheld RFID handheld terminal runs asset management APP application for mobile operations and supplementary business to achieve full process management.

For warehouse asset management, the asset management process from warehousing to outbound includes warehousing application, review, issuance of RFID electronic tags and confirmation of warehousing, as well as outbound application and review confirmation.

For on-shelf asset management, management activities such as asset shelving, location change and asset de-shelf can be automatically managed through RFID technology.

Through the automatic collection and problem handling of RFID technology, the data center can promptly discover and handle problems and hidden dangers in the computer room to ensure the normal and stable operation of the network system. The inspection quality and efficiency are improved, inspection omissions are avoided, the maintenance cycle of equipment is standardized, and the stability and security of the network are improved.
