Abstract

Systems and methods include receiving notification of an anomaly in a particular component within a data center environment. Such systems and methods include receiving configuration information identifying positions of tags disposed proximate to and representing respective infrastructure components within the data center environment. Such systems and methods include detecting a first tag representing a first infrastructure component and, in response thereto, determining, using the configuration information, a first positional relationship between the first tag and a second tag representing the particular component. Such systems and methods include determining a second positional relationship between the mobile device and the particular component based on the first positional relationship and providing, based on the second positional relationship, directional guidance from the first infrastructure component to the particular component. Such systems and methods include detecting, by the sensor, the second tag and, in response thereto, providing information identifying the particular component.
