Abstract:
The present invention enables location prediction of a system in a data center. Specifically, the invention monitors resources from the systems in the data center and measuring points in the data center. A system resource monitors the internal conditions of the system. A data center measuring point is any device which provide environment or data center resource information of the data center. The conditions obtained from the system resources and measuring points are correlated, and then utilized to predict the location of the system in the data center. For example, by correlating heat sensor values and bandwidth measurements, the prediction mechanism may be able to predict that a system that has a spike in network usage and is at fully capacity is near measuring points that detected an increased heat sensor value and detected increased bandwidth usage at the same time that the machine had its spike in network usage.
