Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining, an application requirement for a server of a data center geographically separated from a central location. A configuration file adapted for the server according to the application requirement is obtained at the central location and a host processor located at the data center is selected according to the application requirement. A static IP address preassigned to an administrative portion of the selected host processor is identified. The selected host processor is initialized remotely over a wide area network via the administrative port without utilizing any software resources pre-existing at the data center. The initializing configures the selected host processor according to the configuration file to service the application requirement. Other embodiments are disclosed.

System and method for remote configuration of scalable datacenter

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a request to install a guest virtual machine on a physical host; identifying a UUID of the physical host; generating a virtual machine reference value; defining a modified UUID of the guest virtual machine comprising the UUID of the physical host and the virtual machine reference value; and assigning the modified UUID to the guest virtual machine, the physical host being identifiable via the modified UUID of the guest virtual machine. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for managing identification of a virtual machine and a host within a virtual domain

An architecture for automatically preconditioning and certifying the deployment of network hardware prior to installation of network services. A method can comprise in response to receiving electrical power from a mains power supply, downloading specific executable instructions to facilitate execution of an operating system kernel by the processor; determining that the operating system kernel has attained an operational status; based on the determining, establishing a pre-boot execution network environment with a device of a group of devices; initializing a group of protocol services; and facilitating retrieval of configuration data from the device using the group of protocol services.
