Datacenter entity information system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining datacenter entity information associated with a datacenter at an initial time, wherein the datacenter entity information includes physical connections and hierarchal relationships of physical entities of the datacenter, and hierarchal relationships of virtual entities of the datacenter;
compressing and storing the datacenter entity information as a datacenter entity frame of reference;
obtaining datacenter entity information changes associated with the datacenter at times other than the initial time, wherein the datacenter entity information changes includes changes to the physical connections and the hierarchal relationships of the physical entities of the datacenter or changes to the hierarchal relationships of the virtual entities of the datacenter;
compressing and storing the datacenter entity information changes with respect to the datacenter entity frame of reference;
receiving a natural language based search query including a phrase or an abbreviation for information associated with managing operation of the datacenter;
identifying a portion of the datacenter entity information or the datacenter entity information changes relevant to the natural language based search query;
identifying physical connections and hierarchal relationships of the physical entities of the datacenter relevant to the natural language based search query;
identifying hierarchal relationships of the virtual entities of the datacenter relevant to the natural language based search query;
identifying an intent of the natural language based search query based on the identified physical connections and hierarchal relationships of the physical entities and the identified hierarchal relationships of the virtual entities;
performing a natural language based search of data pertaining to operation of the data center based on the intent of the natural language based search query; and
generating results of the search other than results from a keyword based search.

Abstract
A computerized datacenter entity information method includes obtaining datacenter entity information at an initial time, compressing and storing the datacenter entity information as a datacenter entity frame of reference, obtaining datacenter entity information changes, and compressing and storing the datacenter entity information changes with respect to the datacenter entity frame of reference. In another implementation, the computerized datacenter entity information method includes obtaining datacenter entity information at an initial time, compressing and storing the datacenter entity information as a datacenter entity frame of reference, obtaining datacenter entity information changes, and compressing and storing the datacenter entity information changes with respect to the datacenter entity frame of reference.

10. A method, comprising:
-
obtaining first datacenter entity information associated with a datacenter at a first time, wherein the datacenter entity information includes physical connections and hierarchal relationships of physical entities of the datacenter, and hierarchal relationships of virtual entities of the datacenter; obtaining second datacenter entity information at a second time subsequent to the first time, wherein the second datacenter entity information includes changes to the physical connections and the hierarchal relationships of the physical entities of the datacenter or changes to the hierarchal relationships of the virtual entities of the datacenter; compressing and storing the second datacenter entity information as a datacenter entity frame of reference; identifying differences in the second datacenter entity information relative to the first datacenter entity information; compressing and storing the differences; receiving a natural language based search query including a phrase or an abbreviation for information associated with managing operation of the datacenter; identifying a portion of the first datacenter entity information or the second datacenter entity information relevant to the natural language based search query; identifying physical connections and hierarchal relationships of the physical entities of the datacenter relevant to the natural language based search query; identifying hierarchal relationships of the virtual entities of the datacenter relevant to the natural language based search query; identifying an intent of the natural language based search query based on the identified physical connections and hierarchal relationships of the physical entities and the identified hierarchal relationships of the virtual entities; performing a natural language based search of data pertaining to operation of the data center based on the intent of the natural language based search query; and generating results of the search other than results from a keyword based search. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
