Disclosed is a method and system to provide seamless data placement, data movement, and data management into the cloud. The system includes a processor; and a memory. The memory stores machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to extend the local data fabric and the services to the cloud providers by utilizing a cloud abstraction layer module. The cloud providers act as remote endpoints configured with a source unit. The process is further configured to implement a data migration in which a data migration module migrates data from the source unit to the cloud providers, and performs a plurality of management activities through an interaction between a control plane and a management module. Then the processor is configured to create a cloud tenant in the source unit to map the cloud providers. The data is migrated to the cloud provider through a plurality of mechanisms selected from at least one of instantiating an application instance into a cloud tenant attached to the cloud provider, and utilizing a plurality of remote storage pools which includes a plurality of remote endpoints as members.

A method and a system for translating a resource requirement associated with an application into one or more tangible infrastructural resources in a communication network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for the resource requirement associated with the application. The method includes creating in response to the received request, an application compose requirement file based on an application definition and the resource requirement. The method includes translating the resource requirement associated with the application into the one or more tangible infrastructural resources based on the created application compose requirement file. The method includes providing the one or more tangible infrastructural resources to the application based on the translated resource requirement.

The present disclosure relates to device in a network. The device includes an obtaining module, a storage module, and a determination module. The obtaining module is configured to obtain topology information associated with one or more nodes available in a network. The storage module is configured to store the topology information obtained along with meta-information associated with the topology information, if any. The determination module is configured to determine placement of at least storage resources on at least one node selected from the one or more nodes based on the topology information and the meta-information.

System and method for an improved placement of storage nodes in network

At least two domains of a datacenter are registered. Each of the domains comprises at least one server. A global pool of identifiers is generated by the global management module. A logical configuration is generated by a global management module. The logical configuration takes the form of a global profile and allows for a workload to be processed at one or more the servers. A global identifier from the global pool of identifiers is associated with the global profile. The global profile is assigned to a server in a first of the at least two domains.

Datacenter workload deployment using cross-fabric-interconnect global service profiles and identifiers

Datacenter workload deployment using cross-domain global service profiles and identifiers

Presented herein are techniques for resolving VxAN (VSANs and VLANs) networking connectivity, prior to server or domain migration. When UCS domains receive a workload or service profile from a UCS Central Controller, required VLANs/VSANs are checked for deployment for that UCS domain in Fabric Interconnects, and once VLANs/VSANs are successfully confirmed, the workload is deployed into one of the compute servers in that domain.

Determining availability of networking resources prior to migration of a server or domain

An example method for cloud-based resource availability calculation of a network environment is provided and includes receiving a plurality of system error log (SEL) data in real time at a virtual appliance executing in a first network. The SEL data is received from a remote second network indicating system events associated with corresponding resources in the second network. The method further includes calculating a resource availability (RA) index indicative of availability of resources for workload deployment in the second network, and sending the RA index to a management application executing in the second network for appropriate management and allocation of resources in the second network. In specific embodiments, the method further includes receiving a SEL inventory associated with a specific resource in the second network, and updating the RA index based on the SEL inventory.
