Using RFID for IT Asset Management

RFID IT Asset Management Some of the largest data centers in the world are using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for IT asset management. Companies that were skeptical of RFID just a few years ago now have implementations that track hundreds of thousands of assets. Given the recent performance advancements and lower prices, RFID has not only become affordable, but provides return on investment in as little as 12 months. The reported benefits of RFID include:

drastically reduce the time required to take inventory and perform spot audits
improves security by automatically tracking moving assets
increases equipment utilization, and
streamlines data center reconfiguration.

The RFID Network, a non-commercial educational cable TV news program in the United States, produced a 30 show on this topic. By permission, excerpts of that episode are included here.
