A system and method for supplying on-premise hyper-converged systems uses a cloud service to receive orders for the on-premise hyper-converged systems from customers and to request a system integrator to procure hardware components of the on-premise hyper-converged systems and to assemble hardware components to produce assembled systems. Software components are remotely installed and configured in the assembled systems from the cloud service using bring-up appliances in virtual private clouds created for the on-premise hyper-converged systems to deploy software-defined data centers (SDDCs) in the on-premise hyper-converged systems. The resulting on-premise hyper-converged systems with the deployed SDDCs can then used by the customers.

System and method for supplying on-premise hyper-converged systems

A system and method for determining a storage configuration for an application, where the storage configuration specifies a storage layout for data objects associated with the application. A Storage Configurator program may display a graphical user interface (GUI) for guiding the user through creation of the storage configuration. User input to specify properties of the storage configuration and/or properties of the application may be received to the graphical user interface. The Storage Configurator program may determine a storage configuration for the application, based on the user input received to the graphical user interface.

Graphical user interface for creating a customized storage layout for an application

A system and method for determining a storage configuration for an application, where the storage configuration specifies a storage layout for data objects associated with the application. A Storage Configurator program may display a graphical user interface (GUI) for guiding the user through creation of the storage configuration. User input to specify properties of the storage configuration and/or properties of the application may be received to the graphical user interface. The Storage Configurator program may determine a storage configuration for the application, based on the user input received to the graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the Storage Configurator may provide an option allowing the user to save the storage configuration, e.g., in a file or database. Saving the storage configuration may allow the user to utilize the storage configuration at a later time. In one embodiment, the Storage Configurator may also provide an option allowing the user to implement the storage configuration. Implementing the storage configuration may comprise storing the plurality of data objects associated with the application on one or more storage devices according to the storage layout specified by the storage configuration. For example, the user may simply click a button to cause the data objects to be stored according to the storage layout.
