Preface
As we all know, the assets of bank telecommunication data centers are not the same as ordinary IT assets, and the data involved is very sensitive. Even a small error may lead to serious consequences. With the development of the economy, the IT equipment in the data center of the banking and telecommunications industry has also doubled, but the equipment management of the data center still adopts the method of regular inspection on paper documents. The labor intensity of the management personnel has increased significantly, but the real-time is still not possible. Surveillance can only wait for problems to “fight the fire” everywhere.
In recent years, data center managers have also tried to use barcode management systems, but due to the limitations of the barcode itself (easy to be defaced, can be copied, precise alignment, etc.), a lot of manual operations are still required to complete the management of the equipment , Did not realize real-time monitoring in the true sense, and did not liberate the managers fundamentally.
In response to the above problems, RCG Hongba Digital, with its current advanced technology and rich implementation experience, has developed an asset monitoring system that meets the characteristics of the data center. Using RFID automatic identification technology and network and software platforms, it provides faster, more careful and more accurate daily management for the monitoring of important business assets such as cabinets, and realizes the functions of real-time monitoring, automatic recording and asset inventory, which further reduces the occurrence of security risks Possible.
solution
After many communications with customers and field inspections, RCG Hongba Digital found that the basic environment of the data center is very conducive to the application of RFID technology, because the usual data center is located in a limited area with high density and expensive The basic environment such as temperature and humidity is very good. This environment can reduce the cost of deploying RFID and improve its efficiency.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) radio frequency identification technology, mainly composed of reading and writing equipment and electronic tags, between the reading and writing equipment and electronic tags through the radio frequency signal automatically identify the target object, obtain its related data, so as to realize the identification of the object, and The collected data is transmitted to the application system platform for summary, analysis, and processing. This technology has the characteristics of long reading distance, strong penetrating ability, anti-pollution, high efficiency (multiple tags can be processed at the same time), and large amount of information.
Using the above principles and characteristics of RFID, install RFID electronic tags on fixed assets such as the cabinet and its internal equipment, install RFID identification equipment at the entrance and exit of the computer room and inside the cabinet, and combine with the asset management monitoring platform to achieve full visibility of assets and real-time update of information. It can monitor the use and flow of assets in real time, which is embodied in real-time query of equipment location, equipment movement tracking records, alarms; equipment management statistics reports and other management objectives, and establish a set of advanced, standardized and optimized management mechanisms.
System composition and architecture
The RFID cabinet asset monitoring system is composed of electronic tags (RFID tags), readers (RFID readers), servers and system software (Tracking Server). This system is in B/S mode. The following figure shows the system architecture of an RFID cabinet asset monitoring system, in which:
Each device in the cabinet is equipped with RFID electronic tags (Tags)
RFID reading system is installed in each cabinet
RFID reading system is installed at the entrance and exit of the computer room
Staff use handheld RFID readers

The RCG RFID data center management solution can achieve the following functions:
Equipment monitoring inside the cabinet
Install the RFID reading system inside the cabinet to cover the RFID tags of the equipment inside the cabinet;
The system can read the RFID tag on the device in real time;
When the equipment is operated and moved, a work record is automatically formed;
The system can realize asset monitoring and alarm according to the preset alarm value.
Computer room entrance and exit monitoring
The RFID reading system installed at the entrance and exit of the computer room covers the passage area;
Any equipment with RFID tags will be recognized by the system when passing through the area;
The data is uploaded to the monitoring platform in real time for corresponding data recording and processing.
Tracking Server
Establish a database of equipment and facilities, and add all the equipment and facilities in the computer room to the database to clearly manage each equipment and facility and provide the necessary basic data for monitoring;
Graphically manage the location of the device; realize the location query of the device;
Record the changes of equipment location in real time and automatically;
In order to dynamically display the equipment at each location on the monitoring interface, when adding equipment, you can choose the original equipment model or the new equipment model. If you add a new equipment model, you need to submit a proportional photo of the front of the equipment;
The alarm function is implemented by the alarm engine deployed on the monitoring node; first, an alarm strategy library is established, and an alarm threshold is set for each collected state data;
Whenever the device data is collected, the alarm engine is called to check the threshold to determine whether an alarm is triggered; if the threshold is exceeded (ie, illegal operation and movement of the device), an alarm is triggered;
After triggering an alarm, add a record to the alarm record and submit it to the general control center; at the same time, call the alarm notification module to send alarm information to other systems.

Introduction to RFID Technology
RFID is the abbreviation of Radio Frequency Identification, that is, radio frequency identification
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), or “Radio Frequency Identification”, is a non-contact automatic identification technology (Auto-ID) that automatically recognizes target objects and obtains relevant data through radio frequency signals. RFID technology can identify high-speed moving objects and can identify multiple tags at the same time, its identification work does not require manual intervention, and the operation is quick and convenient.
The most basic RFID system consists of three parts:
Tag: It is composed of coupling elements and chips. Each tag has a unique electronic code and is attached to the object to identify the target object;
Reader: A device that reads (and sometimes writes) tag information, which can be designed as a handheld or fixed type;
Antenna: Transmit radio frequency signals between the tag and the reader.
An electronic tag generally stores electronic data in an agreed format. In practical applications, the electronic tag is attached to the surface of the object to be identified. The reader sends out a certain frequency radio frequency signal through the antenna. When the tag enters the magnetic field, it generates an induced current to obtain energy, sends out its own code and other information, which is read and decoded by the reader, and then sent to the host computer for relevant processing. In this way, the reader can read and identify the electronic data stored in the electronic tag without contact, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically identifying the body.
