Configuration management of devices from multiple vendors using a hardware abstraction capability is provided. Abstraction between a high-level representation and vendor specific terminology may assist in translating configuration commands and operational status indicators to a single consistent presentation interface. Information may be obtained from computer devices to represent operational metrics of a corporate network infrastructure. Collected metrics may be translated for consistency across vendors. Similarly, configuration commands may initially be provided without regard to vendor specific syntax. Utilizing the high-level abstracted representation, a user interface representation of operational status (without regard to vendor terminology) may be provided for a heterogenous rack of associated components from at least two different vendors. Collected data may be analyzed to provide predicted failure of components. Predicted failures may be further analyzed to provide a damage radius representative of potential impact caused by a predicted failure if that failure were to actually take place.
