1. A modularized virtualized computing environment comprising:

  • a processor;

    a hypervisor;

    a virtual machine deployed by the hypervisor;

    a plurality of virtual hard drives, each virtual hard drive encapsulating one respective logical functionality or one logical data set, the plurality of virtual hard drives cooperating to implement an overall functionality or service, the one respective logical functionality or the one logical data set maintained separate from other logical functionalities or logical data sets; and

    a storage manager to;

    identify a request to access a software asset at a first path location; and

    determine that the first path location is mapped to a second path location associated with a first one of the plurality of virtual hard drives;

    redirect the request to the second path location,determine whether the software asset associated with the request invokes a re-direct rule;

    when the software asset invokes the re-direct rule, provision a new virtual hard drive encapsulating functionality of the software asset; and

    map the first path location to a new path location associated with the new virtual hard drive.
