Data center IT asset electronic identification code generating and managing system and implementation method

Abstract

The invention discloses a data center IT asset electronic identification code generating and managing system and an implementation method. The data center IT asset electronic identification code generating and managing system comprises identification code memorizers, an IT asset electronic identification code generating and managing software module, a server, an electronic code sender and an electronic code reader, wherein the IT asset electronic identification code generating and managing software module is used for sequentially generating electronic identification codes without repetition according to code sending rules, the electronic code sender is used for writing a unique electronic identification code in each identification code memorizer under the control of management software, each identification code memorizer with the unique electronic identification code is in permanent physical bonding with an IT device, and the electronic identification codes of the IT devices are used for identifying the bonded IT devices, and the electronic code reader is used for reading the electronic identification codes and checking whether the electronic identification codes of the identification code memorizers are correct or not. According to the data center IT asset electronic identification code generating and managing system and the implementation method, the data center IT asset electronic identification codes are easy to generate, capable of being saved a in long time, not prone to damage and high in reliability, and the electronic identification codes capable of identifying different IT assets can be generated and managed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of IT technology, in particular to a data center IT asset electronic identification code generation and management system and its implementation method. Background technique [0002] There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of IT equipment deployed in modern large-scale data centers. The traditional method is to affix paper numbers on IT assets to manage and maintain these assets. Generally, labels about asset attributes are also affixed and easy-to-read barcodes, but the traditional method has the following disadvantages: first, the paper numbers are easily damaged and fall off; second, the barcodes tend to become blurred and difficult to identify after a long time; The higher it is, the panels of many IT equipment have no place to stick quality labels. [0003] There are patents at home and abroad that use RFID tag technology to identify IT equipment, but RFID tag technology has the following disadvanta...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of IT equipment deployed in modern large-scale data centers. The traditional method is to affix paper numbers on IT assets to manage and maintain these assets. Generally, labels about asset attributes are also affixed and easy-to-read barcodes, but the traditional method has the following disadvantages: first, the paper numbers are easily damaged and fall off; second, the barcodes tend to become blurred and difficult to identify after a long time; The higher the level, the panels of many IT equipment have no place to stick quality labels

U is a unit that indicates the height of IT equipment. A cabinet with 42 IT devices with a height of 1U or 21 IT devices with a height of 2U, etc.) may have dozens of IT devices that require a large number of card readers, and the system is complex and costly

[0006] Third, the data center has strict requirements on the electromagnetic environment. The frequency of RFID tag technology ranges from tens of megabytes to hundreds of megabytes, which brings new interference to the originally complex electromagnetic environment of the computer room.

[0007] Fourth, the integration of IT equipment is getting higher and higher, and there is no place for RFID tags on the panels of many IT equipment.
