Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for allowing efficient allocation of data center resources in a virtualized data center. In one step, network information is obtained from a network using an application resource broker (ARB). In another step, data center information is obtained from a virtual center server using the ARB. In another step, a set of application traffic metrics and a set of virtualized infrastructure metrics are determined using the ARB based on the obtained network information and data center information respectively. The ARB is implemented on a computer system.

19. A method for allocating resources using an application resource broker (ARB) module in a virtualized data center (VDC), said method comprising:
-
coupling a network to the VDC to execute by an application delivery controller (ADC) resources which are able to be remotely accessed by the ADC as instructed by a request generated externally to the network; receiving the request generated externally at the VDC upon connection to the network for accessing resources in a data center connected to the network; and accessing at the VDC by the ARB module available resources requested by the external request in the data center wherein the available resources comprise of network resources and virtual machine (VM) resources. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A virtualized data center (VDC) apparatus, comprising:
-
a hardware processor including an application delivery controller (ADC) to connect a network to the VDC to execute resources which are able to be remotely accessed by the ADC as instructed by a request generated externally to the network; a module of an application resource broker (ARB) within the ADC to determine available resources; and a communication port coupled to the hardware processor, said communication port to receive the request generated externally at the VDC upon connection to the network, to access resources in a data center connected to the network, and to access at the VDC by the ARB module the determined available resources requested by the external request in the data center wherein the available resources consist of network resources and virtual machine (VM) resources. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable non-transitory code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable non-transitory code for programming one or more processors to perform a method for allowing efficient allocation of data center resources in a virtualized data center, the method comprising the steps of:
-
coupling a network to the VDC to execute by an application delivery controller (ADC) resources which are able to be remotely accessed by the ADC as instructed by a request generated externally to the network; receiving the request generated externally at the VDC upon connection to the network for accessing resources in a data center connected to the network; and accessing at the VDC by the ARB module available resources requested by the external request in the data center wherein the available resources comprise of network resources and virtual machine (VM) resources. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
