Electronic device management in a datacenter

Abstract:

A method and related system are used for device management in a datacenter having multiple racks adapted to house multiple devices. The system may comprise an optical sensor and a reporting unit. The optical sensor may be provided at a position in a rack in a datacenter, the optical sensor configured to sense device identifying data of a device inserted in the rack. The reporting unit may transmit the sensed device identifying data and the position in a message to a central data processing system for the datacenter.
