Abstract: A system can provide a visual representation of an inventory of data entities for a distributed computing system. Inventory data including cost and operational data for data entities such as data centers, servers, and virtual machines, can be converted into a format file. The format file can be used to create a tree of nodes and node summaries corresponding to the data entities. A user interface can display hierarchical and isolated views of the tree revealing parent child relationships between data entities within a computing system infrastructure. Node summaries including cost and utilization data can be displayed to reveal how specific sub-costs such as labor and licensing, are driven by data entities in one level of the infrastructure and pushed to respective parent or child data entities in other levels. Views of the tree can be used to determine areas of inefficiency or reduced value within the computing system.

Abstract: Methods and systems assist data center customer to plan virtual data center (“VDC”) configurations, create purchase recommendations to achieve either an expansion or contraction of a VDC, and optimize the data center cost. Methods generate recommendations on lower cost combinations of virtual machine (“VM”) guest OS licenses, server computer hardware and VM software to optimize the costs are generated, generate data center customer plans for additional VMs with guest OS for a projected period of time, provide recommendations on lower cost combination of guest OS licenses, server hardware, and VM software to optimize the cost. Methods also report any underutilized licensed servers and provide recommendations for cost savings when volume licenses can be replaced by instance based software licenses. Methods may generate VM placement recommendations to data center customers while the customers attempt to manually migrate VMs to different server computers.

Abstract: Methods and systems predict parameters in a dataset of an identified piece of (“information technology”) IT equipment. An automated method identifies datasets IT equipment in a same category of IT equipment as a piece of IT equipment identified as having incomplete dataset information. Each dataset of IT equipment parameters are used to construct generalized linear models of different classes of IT equipment within the category of IT equipment. The class of the identified IT equipment is determined. A predicted equipment parameter of incomplete information of the identified piece of IT equipment is computed using the generalized linear model associated with the class. The predicted equipment parameter can be used to complete the dataset of the identified piece of IT equipment.

Abstract: System and method for deploying an application in a computer system automatically extend an application topology of virtual computing resources of the computer system and application components of the application to be executed on the virtual computing resources to include an affinity-type rule for the virtual computing resources of the computer system based on at least one predefined policy of the application topology and deploy the application in the computer system by provisioning the virtual computing resources to the physical devices in the computer system based on the extended application topology.

Abstract: A power distribution unit having a power supply inputs including mains, secondary, generator, and renewable can be configured to measure how much power is drawn from each of the power supply inputs over a time period and to provide data to a unit rate of power engine indicating the same. A cost information engine can be configured to provide cost information, applicable over the time period, for each of the power supply inputs to the unit rate of power engine. The unit rate of power engine can be configured to compute the unit rate of power consumed in the data center over the time period based on the power drawn from each of the power supply inputs and the cost information.

Abstract: Various examples are disclosed for using clustering routines to extrapolate metrics to other computing resources in a cluster. One or more computing devices can classify computing resources, such as servers, based on various characteristics of the computing resources. For each class of computing resource, a clustering routine can be applied to generate clusters of the computing resources. A minimal number of metrics required to be obtained from an end user can be determined as a function of a number of the clusters. If one or more of the metrics are obtained from the end user, the metrics can be extrapolated to other computing resources in the same cluster.

Abstract: Techniques for migrating a VM in a hybrid cloud computing system are provided. The techniques include identifying a similar VM at the destination, comparing dictionaries for the VM to be transmitted and the similar VM, and compressing the VM based on the comparison. After transmitting the compressed VM, the destination decompresses the VM using the dictionary of the similar VM. Dictionaries associate chunks of VM data with hashes of those chunks. This allows replacement of chunks with the hashes, thereby compressing the VM for transmission.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing guest operating system (OS) utilization cost in a processor based licensing model in a virtual datacenter are described. In one example embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) that has or is scheduled to have an instance of an operating system (OS) that requires a license is identified. Availability of a physical processor of a first host computing system that is licensed to execute the OS based on the computing resource requirements of the VM, the physical processor based license, author assigned affinity to physical processors in the first host computing system is determined. The VM is then migrated/placed to/on the physical processor of the first host computing system or migrated/placed to/on a physical processor of a second host computing system based on the outcome of the determination.
