1. A method comprising:
- gathering, by a processor circuit, data for a database, the data associated with a heterogeneous data center having devices from multiple vendors;
indexing the database to link data for a first device from among the devices to an attribute of the first device, an association of the first device with another device from among the devices or a usage context for the first device;
receiving a search request;
providing, responsive to the search request, data for the first device from the database based on a comparison of the search request to the indexed database.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed for searching data associated with devices in a heterogeneous data center. In some examples, data may be gathered for a database. The data may be associated with a heterogeneous data center having devices from multiple vendors. The database may be indexed to link data for a given device to an attribute, association or usage context for the given device. Responsive to a search request, data for a given device from among the devices in the heterogeneous data center may be provided based on a comparison of the search request to the indexed database. Other examples are described and claimed.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
circuitry; a gather module for execution by the circuitry to gather data for a database, the data associated with a heterogeneous data center having devices from multiple vendors; an index module for execution by the circuitry to index the database to link data for a first device from among the devices to an attribute of the first device, an association of the first device with another device from among the devices or a usage context for the first device; a request module for execution by the circuitry to receive a search request; and a search module for execution by the circuitry to provide data for the first device from the database responsive to the search request based on a comparison of the search request to the indexed database. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by a system cause the system to:
-
gather data for a database, the data associated with a heterogeneous data center having devices from multiple vendors; index the database to link data for a first device from among the devices to an attribute of the first device, an association of the first device with another device from among the devices and a usage context for the first device; index the database to link data for a second device from among the devices to the usage context linked to the first device, the second device from a different vendor; receive a search request; and provide data from the database for the first device or for the second device responsive to the search request based on a comparison of the search request to the indexed database. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
