The larger the company, the more necessary that sort of scheme
becomes, though I prefer that asset tags be the index, sort of like an
autoincrement index in a database table.
So you can have official names like rs-123456, prn-234567, and
sw-345678 to use for inventory, insurance, and whatnot -- but you can
still use CNAMES or other aliases for informal use.
