ACCESSING MULTIPLE CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS
Abstract:
A technique for communicating with multiple Converged IT Infrastructures (CITIs) includes accessing any CITI that is part of a group of multiple CITIs by accessing a single CITI within the group. In an example, each CITI has a representative converged infrastructure coordinator (CIC), which stores information about the respective CITI. When any CITI in the group receives a request from a client for information about any other CITI in the group, the CIC of the CITI receiving the request contacts the CIC of the other CITI and obtains the requested information about the other CITI from its CIC. In some examples, the CIC also acts to aggregate, filter, and/or analyze information gathered from multiple CITIs in the group, and thus allows clients to receive processed data pertaining to many CITIs in response to simple commands. The technique includes accessing any CITI that is part of a group of multiple CITIs by accessing a single CITI within the group. In this manner, a client need only communicate with a single CITI to obtain information about any CITI in the group. The burdensome task of maintaining communication with multiple CITIs is therefore reduced or eliminated altogether. The CIC may also aggregate, filter, and/or analyze information gathered from multiple CITIs, thereby allowing clients to receive processed data pertaining to many CITIs in response to simple commands.
