Abstract:
1. A system for generating a virtual mapping of a room containing a plurality of computer servers, the system comprising: a plurality of racks for housing servers; a plurality of position determining devices, each respective position determining device operative to evaluate a signal and to obtain position information, wherein each respective position determining device is positioned on a corresponding one of the plurality of racks; a plurality of temperature sensors, each temperature sensor associated with one of the position determining devices; and, at least one computer operatively connected to the plurality of position determining devices to receive position information from the position determining devices and operatively connected to the plurality of temperature sensors to receive temperature measurements from the plurality of temperature sensors, the at least one computer operative to create a virtual mapping of the room indicating the approximate positions of the plurality of temperature sensors in the room based on the position information received from the position determining devices, and to store a contribution factor corresponding to an effect a cooling supply has on at least one of the temperature sensors.
