Hyper-converged infrastructure correlation system

摘要

A Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI)/physical infrastructure correlation system includes a compute/networking/storage physical infrastructure system coupled to an HCI correlation system via a network. The HCI correlation system retrieves physical device information about respective physical devices included in the compute/networking/storage physical infrastructure system, as well as performance capability information of the respective physical devices included in the compute/networking/storage physical infrastructure system. The HCI correlation system then accesses an HCI component database, and uses the physical device information and the performance capability information to identify a plurality of HCI components that are configurable as an HCI system to perform functionality that is provided by the respective physical devices included in the compute/networking/storage physical infrastructure system. The HCI correlation system then causes at least one HCI software component included in the plurality of HCI components to be provided on at least one HCI physical component included in the plurality of HCI components.
