Abstract

Method and Apparatus for rapid scalable unified infrastructure system management platform are disclosed by discovery of compute nodes, network components across data centers, both public and private for a user; assessment of type, capability, VLAN, security, virtualization configuration of the discovered unified infrastructure nodes and components; configuration of nodes and components covering add, delete, modify, scale; and rapid roll out of nodes and components across data centers both public and private.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

using SLA-aware systems to evaluate archived data that predicts the time needed for devices to fulfill a provisioning request; and

using predictive data to recommend best match for cloud resource provisioning.

2. An apparatus, comprising:

a cloud based software platform that can employ SLA-aware systems to predict the time needed for devices to fulfill provisioning requests.
