In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving radio proximity information from a plurality of radio devices arranged along a rack, performing set-wise analysis of the radio proximity information for determining a spatial ordering of the radio devices and/or hardware elements associated with the radio devices, and storing the spatial ordering in memory. In another embodiment, a computer program product includes: a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon. The program code is executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. In yet another embodiment, a system includes: a processing circuit having logic stored thereon and/or in memory. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.

Spatial ordering determination of devices using set-wise analysis of radio device proximity set comparisons

Capturing physical inventory in a data center includes: establishing a proximity-based data communications connection with a service processor of a server, the server installed at a location within a server rack; retrieving an identifier of the server via the proximity-based data communications connection; capturing, with a camera of the mobile computing device, a digital image of the server in the server rack; identifying, from the digital image, the location of the server within the server rack; and storing the identified location of the server within the server rack in association with the retrieved identifier.
