Edge computing system for monitoring and maintaining data center operations

Abstract:

A system for implementing edge computing and smart sensors at a data center is provided. The system may monitor behavior changes and collect data about servers within the data center. The system may make changes based on the collected data. The system may use simple network management protocol ("SNMP") to recover data and trace data at relatively rapid speeds. The system may be able to identify duplicate data records, copy the duplicate data records and eliminate the need to access a disaster recovery center. The system may also detect when a server is exceeding or nearly exceeding resource utilization. When a server is determined to be nearing a resource threshold, the server may transmit an alert and/or automatically place an order to upgrade resources. In some embodiments, the system may monitor multiple data centers. In these embodiments, each data center may be considered to be a server.
