The data center infrastructure monitoring systems are coupled to the central infrastructure monitoring system. The asset configurator is configured to define templates of standard attributes for the plurality of infrastructure assets based on in­ formation about the plurality of infrastructure assets of the plurality of data centers, generate infrastructure asset data that logically represents the plurality of physical infrastructure assets based on the defined templates, and associate, via the infrastructure asset data, the physical infrastructure assets within an infrastructure asset hierarchy indicating connections and interdependencies between the plurality of infrastructure assets.
