A system to facilitate infrastructure management is described. The system includes one or more processors and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to execute an infrastructure management controller to automatically balance utilization of infrastructure resources between a plurality of on-premise infrastructure controllers.

Load balancing of on-premise infrastructure resource controllers

A system to facilitate infrastructure management is described. The system includes one or more processors and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to execute an infrastructure management controller to receive a request to provide infrastructure management services and generate a mapping between at least one instance of the infrastructure management controller and one or more resource instances at one or more on-premise infrastructure controller instances to provide the cloud based infrastructure management services, wherein the request includes one or more configuration parameters.

Infrastructure resource mapping mechanism based on determined best match proposal for workload deployment

A system to facilitate infrastructure management is described. The system includes one or more processors and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to execute an infrastructure management controller to receive first monitoring data indicating a first infrastructure condition occurring at an on-premise infrastructure controller, determine a first load state of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the first infrastructure condition and adjust a consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a first level of the consistency based on the first state.

Infrastructure adaptive consistency level mechanism

Infrastructure load balancing using software-defined networking controllers

A system to facilitate infrastructure management is described. The system includes a plurality of management controllers each having a control function of a plurality of infrastructure devices and a state cache storing a state of the plurality of infrastructure devices, including a first management controller to initiate an operation to be performed on a first set of resources. The system also includes a plurality of infrastructure controllers, each having a state repository to maintain a state function of the plurality of infrastructure devices, including a first infrastructure controller associated with the first set of resources to perform the operation on the first set of resources, update a first state repository including an updated state of the first set of resources in response to the operation and broadcast the updated state of the first set of resources to each of the plurality of management controllers.

Peer to peer infrastructure management architecture

An example system includes one or more resource managers forming a federation of resources, at least one resource manager being associated with one or more resources; a federation hub for receiving local resource information from each of the one or more resource managers, wherein the federation hub aggregates the local resource information from each of the one or more resource managers and provides an aggregated view of all resources of the federation; and a bylaw guardian for determining compliance of each of the one or more resource managers to requirements of the federation.

Resource federation

In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus and method for storage space management performs the steps including: activating a logical volume group; reading pattern-based mapping information from physical volumes in the logical volume group; and using the pattern-based mapping information to determine a target physical extent in at least one of the physical volumes for a received request.
