Abstract
A method for processing virtualization of computers that are part of a group into virtual computers is provided. The method includes obtaining relationship data from the computers, where the relationship data identifies parameters used to communicate within the group. Then, the method analyzes utilization parameters for each of the computers of the group. A visual model for proposed virtualization of the group of computers is then generated. The visual model identifies hosting machines designated to define a virtual computer for each of the computers, where the visual model provides a graphical illustration of the group of computers once converted to virtual computers. The method enables adjustment of the proposed virtualization of the group of computers. Then, an execution sequence of virtualization operations to be carried out is generated, if execution of the proposed virtualization is triggered, and the execution sequence is saved to storage and accessed upon execution.
