Abstract
In certain embodiments, a method for virtual infrastructure management includes discovering a plurality of heterogeneous virtual environments, each virtual environment comprising one or more components and being associated with one or more vendor-specific management operations. The method further comprises generating, for each of the plurality of heterogeneous virtual environments, one or more virtual environment objects that model that virtual environment and are operable to abstract the one or more vendor-specific management operations of that virtual environment to a normalized set of management operations. The method further comprises facilitating management of the plurality of heterogeneous virtual environments using the virtual environment objects that model the plurality of heterogeneous virtual environments.
