This reduces man-hours from hours and days to minutes and seconds, with the\u00a0added bonus\u00a0of getting your employees back to their normal job responsibilities.<br><br>By tagging servers with RFID passive tags, you can reconcile an entire rack of servers in\u00a0seconds using a handheld RFID reader.\u00a0 RFID readers can read dozens of tags at a\u00a0time,\u00a0so you will have\u00a0immediate\u00a0visibility of what is missing and what is accounted for.<br><br>Staff in a data center are often not hired to maintain the IT asset inventory, however they are the ones who are ultimately responsible for them and their data.\u00a0 With RFID technology staff can accurately identify the location of an asset, allowing them to perform maintenance and upgrades or replace equipment that is no longer being used.<br><br>inLogic can also implement solutions that provide real-time visibility of equipment in each server cabinet.  As equipment is moved from one cabinet to another, it&#8217;s new location can be automatically updated in the system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using RFID tags in a data center allows the technology to really show off its capabilities.\u00a0 In a data center, you often have\u00a0densely racked servers and network equipment.\u00a0 With the wave of a handheld RFID reader, you can read racks of\u00a0equipment\u00a0in seconds without the need of manually reading serial numbers or scanning barcode tags one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":26,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[40,24,37,38,14,39,35,36],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asset-tracking","tag-active-tag","tag-asset-management-software","tag-data-center-inventory","tag-it-asset-rfid-tagging","tag-it-assets","tag-passive-tag","tag-rfid-data-center","tag-servers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions\/96"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlogic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
