RFID boosts operator IDC computer room asset management intelligence
[ad_1]
The IDC computer rooms of telecom operators are widely distributed, and there are many server ownerships. It is difficult to automatically count and track the IDC computer room servers. Using RFID technology to replace the original manual records, to realize the automation of data collection, combined with the background computer database, greatly improve the utilization rate of equipment and reduce operating costs. RFID technology links the equipment in the computer room with the asset management system to realize the synchronization of physical information. RFID boosts the intelligence of the operator’s IDC computer room asset management.
Data center assets are different from ordinary IT assets, and the requirements for management and control will be relatively high. In recent years, network data in rural areas and cities have been commercialized, and the number of computer rooms has been increasing. Due to the limitations of barcodes (easily defaced, copyable, precise alignment, etc.), a lot of manual operations are still required. Complete the management of the equipment, and did not realize real-time monitoring in the true sense. Combining the application requirements of IDC computer room server management, using RFID electronic tags to bind computer room asset information can accurately monitor the entry and exit of server assets, and quickly and effectively achieve inventory. By adding equipment deployment points, server assets can be monitored in place, and alarms can be left.
RFID hardware equipment installation and deployment
Small room computer room: Deploy access control channel readers (RFID access doors) at the entrance and exit of the computer room to realize server online real-time inventory, access control, and anti-dismantling alarm functions.
Large room computer room: Deploy access control channel readers (RFID access door) at the entrance and exit of the computer room to realize server online real-time inventory, access control, and anti-dismantling alarm functions.
Mobile inventory: RFID handheld PDA is used for server asset inventory. RFID electronic tags within the radius of the travel area cover can be read in batches.
Application process: real-time inventory of server assets, access control, anti-dismantling alarm
The RFID electronic tags attached to the server assets transmit real-time inventory signals to the RFID reader devices deployed at the door in real time, and the received RFID electronic tags data are forwarded to the system platform through the communication gateway. The RFID electronic tag of the server asset enters the RFID identification area at the door. If the entry is illegal, the RFID read-write device will generate an alarm signal.
The RFID computer room asset management system uses RFID technology and network communication technology to manage computer room assets, thereby improving the efficiency of computer room asset inventory, increasing inventory accuracy, reducing labor costs and effectively managing computer room assets. Label each equipment room asset, that is, use RFID flexible (or rigid) anti-metal tags and barcode tags (visually view) to attach the tags to the surface of the assets. Through the RFID channel reader and antenna installed at the entrance and exit of the computer room, it can record the entry and exit of assets in real time. Use RFID handhelds for fast real-time inventory and quick search and locate asset information.
RFID technology realizes the “full life cycle management of computer room assets” and “automated asset management”. It carries out technologies such as automatic radio frequency identification, wireless remote transmission, intelligent hardware, and big data analysis, and realizes the full life cycle of computer room assets (approval, new addition, Intelligent dynamic real-time tracking and centralized monitoring and management of the process of allocation, idleness, scrapping, maintenance, etc., without any manual intervention in the entire management process. It provides accurate reference data for the operator’s IDC computer room asset management department, which effectively increases the marginal benefit of investment and increases the utilization rate of assets, reducing unnecessary equipment investment and idle waste.
