Abstract

System and methods for managing large numbers of network-enabled devices such as computing devices in a facility such as a data center are disclosed. A management application selects and instructs one of the devices to enter a low power state. The power draw from outlets in a power distribution unit supplying the devices are monitored, and an outlet that is detected as dropping below a predetermined threshold of power usage is then mapped to the selected device. This process is repeated for other devices. This permits the power outlet and device associate to be automatically verified to ensure accurate device location identification and power-based billing for the devices in a facility.
