Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, The data center monitoring and management operation includes receiving data center asset data for a plurality of data center assets, the data center asset data comprising data center asset fan associated data; providing the data center asset fan associated data to a fan failure prediction model; and, training the fan failure prediction model using the data center asset fan associated data.

Claims (58)

1. A computer-implementable method for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, comprising:

receiving data center asset data for a plurality of data center assets to a fan monitoring system executing on a data center monitoring and management console, the data center asset data comprising data center asset fan associated data;

providing the data center asset fan associated data to a fan failure prediction model; and,

training the fan failure prediction model using the data center asset fan associated data; and wherein

the data center monitoring and management console is located remotely from the plurality of data center assets.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing the fan failure prediction model to a fan status monitoring system; and,

predicting a fan failure within a data center asset using the fan failure prediction model.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

performing a remediation operation based upon the predicting the fan failure within the data center asset.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the predicting considers a plurality of fan associated data, the plurality of memory fan associated data comprising fan telemetry data and other operational attributes of the data center asset on which the fan is operating.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

data center asset fan sound data are obtained via a fan sensing microphone of a fan monitoring component, the fan sensing microphone generating a fan sound signal.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the fan monitoring component includes a noise cancellation microphone, the noise cancellation microphone generating a noise cancellation sound signal; and,

the fan monitoring component compares the noise cancellation signal with the fan sound signal when generating the data center asset fan associated data.

7. A system comprising:

a processor;

a data bus coupled to the processor; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:

receiving data center asset data for a plurality of data center assets to a fan monitoring system executing on a data center monitoring and management console, the data center asset data comprising data center asset fan associated data;

providing the data center asset fan associated data to a fan failure prediction model; and,

training the fan failure prediction model using the data center asset fan associated data; and wherein

the data center monitoring and management console is located remotely from the plurality of data center assets.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further configured for:

providing the fan failure prediction model to a fan status monitoring system; and,

predicting a fan failure within a data center asset using the fan failure prediction model.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further configured for:

performing a remediation operation based upon the predicting the fan failure within the data center asset.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein:

the predicting considers a plurality of fan associated data, the plurality of memory fan associated data comprising fan telemetry data and other operational attributes of the data center asset on which the fan is operating.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein:

data center asset fan sound data are obtained via a fan sensing microphone of a fan monitoring component, the fan sensing microphone generating a fan sound signal.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the fan monitoring component includes a noise cancellation microphone, the noise cancellation microphone generating a noise cancellation sound signal; and,

the fan monitoring component compares the noise cancellation signal with the fan sound signal when generating the data center asset fan associated data.

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

receiving data center asset data for a plurality of data center assets to a fan monitoring system executing on a data center monitoring and management console, the data center asset data comprising data center asset fan associated data;

providing the data center asset fan associated data to a fan failure prediction model; and,

training the fan failure prediction model using the data center asset fan associated data; and wherein

the data center monitoring and management console is located remotely from the plurality of data center assets.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for:

providing the fan failure prediction model to a fan status monitoring system; and,

predicting a fan failure within a data center asset using the fan failure prediction model.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for:

performing a remediation operation based upon the predicting the fan failure within the data center asset.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein:

the predicting considers a plurality of fan associated data, the plurality of memory fan associated data comprising fan telemetry data and other operational attributes of the data center asset on which the fan is operating.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:

data center asset fan sound data are obtained via a fan sensing microphone of a fan monitoring component, the fan sensing microphone generating a fan sound signal.

18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein:

the fan monitoring component includes a noise cancellation microphone, the noise cancellation microphone generating a noise cancellation sound signal; and,

the fan monitoring component compares the noise cancellation signal with the fan sound signal when generating the data center asset fan associated data.

19. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:

the computer executable instructions are deployable to a client system from a server system at a remote location.

20. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:

the computer executable instructions are provided by a service provider to a user on an on-demand basis.
