I don't see the problem, I work with naming scheme like XYZ1530 and for knowing which server is which or what is installed we have documentation, name is only reference to find information in docs.

So if you work daily with server you know by heart what is on it, if not any "descriptive" name would only mislead you, because probably stuff changed a lot since naming.

I think the same for hw components, you have to look it up anyway in documentation, because some dimension could be changed after a year.
