Abstract

The invention relates to a Data Center Operating System. An embodiment of the present invention comprises: a memory component that stores inventory data for a plurality of data centers; an interactive interface that receives one or more user inputs; an API input that receives data from one or more data center systems; and a processor configured to perform the steps comprising: receiving, via the API input, monitored data from a plurality of data centers at one or more locations; automatically generating, via the processor, an interactive data center floorplan that comprises the monitored data at a device-level for a specific data center; and displaying, via the interactive interface, the interactive data center floorplan in one or more views wherein the one or more views comprises detailed data for a particular rack in the specific data center.

First claim

1 . A computer implemented data center operating system comprising:
a memory component that stores inventory data for a plurality of data centers; an interactive interface that receives one or more user inputs; an API input that receives data from one or more data center systems; and a processor, coupled to the API input, memory component and the interactive interface, the processor configured to perform the steps comprising: receiving, via the API input, monitored data from a plurality of data centers at one or more locations; automatically generating, via the processor, an interactive data center floorplan that comprises the monitored data at a device-level for a specific data center; and displaying, via the interactive interface, the interactive data center floorplan in one or more views wherein the one or more views comprises detailed data for a particular rack in the specific data center.

2 . The computer implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the monitored data comprises real-time power measurements.

3 . The computer implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the monitored data comprises sensor data for a predetermined period of time.

4 . The computer implemented system of claim 1 , the processor further configured to perform the steps of:
enabling a user input to adjust capacity data; and generating, responsive to the adjusted capacity data, power reduction data.

5 . The computer implemented system of claim 4 , the processor further configured to perform the step of:
generating, responsive to the adjusted capacity data, racks at risk data.

6 . The computer implemented system of claim 5 , the processor further configured to perform the step of:
for the racks at risk, automatically generating site data, most at risk rack data and power overage data.

7 . The computer implemented system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a recommendation engine that receives a request for change and generating a response that maximizes utilization of data center assets.

8 . The computer implemented system of claim 7 , wherein the request for change has a corresponding demand profile that is managed by a pattern module that highlights existing analysis on corresponding equipment.

9 . The computer implemented system of claim 7 , wherein the recommendation engine receives data from a supply pool defined by a combination of design factors and monitoring points that identify limitations of a data center.

10 . The computer implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more views comprises a rack view that visualizes live and historical monitored data for a particular rack within the specific data center.

11 . A computer implemented method that operates a data center system, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, via an API input, monitored data from a plurality of data centers at one or more locations; automatically generating, via a processor, an interactive data center floorplan that populates the floorplan with the monitored data; and displaying, via the interactive interface, the interactive data center floorplan in one or more views wherein the one or more views comprises detailed data for a particular rack in a particular data center; wherein the API input receives data from one or more data center systems; the interactive interface receives one or more user inputs; the processor is coupled to the API input, a memory component and the interactive interface.

12 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the monitored data comprises real-time power measurements.

13 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the monitored data comprises sensor data for a predetermined period of time.

14 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising the steps of:
enabling a user input to adjust capacity data; and generating, responsive to the adjusted capacity data, power reduction data.

15 . The computer implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising the step of:
generating, responsive to the adjusted capacity data, racks at risk data.

16 . The computer implemented method of claim 15 , further comprising the step of:
for the racks at risk, automatically generating site data, most at risk rack data and power overage data.

17 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising the step of:
receiving, via a recommendation engine, a request for change and generating a response that maximizes utilization of data center assets.

18 . The computer implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the request for change has a corresponding demand profile that is managed by a pattern module that highlights existing analysis on corresponding equipment.

19 . The computer implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the recommendation engine receives data from a supply pool defined by a combination of design factors and monitoring points that identify limitations of a data center.

20 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more views comprises a rack view that visualizes live and historical monitored data for a particular rack within the specific data center.
