    摘要: A method for summarizing capabilities in a hierarchically arranged data center includes receiving capabilities information, wherein the capabilities information is representative of capabilities of respective nodes at a first hierarchical level in the hierarchically arranged data center, clustering nodes based on groups of capabilities information, generating a histogram that represents individual node clusters, and sending the histogram to a next higher level in the hierarchically arranged data center. Relative rankings of capabilities may be used to order a sequence of clustering operations.

    摘要: Data representing capabilities of devices in a data is aggregated on a cluster-basis. Information representing capability attributes of devices in the data center is received. The information representing the capability attributes is analyzed to generate data that groups devices based on similarity of at least one capability attribute. Aggregation data is stored that represents the grouping of the devices based on similarity of the at least one capability attribute and identifies the devices in corresponding groups.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for receiving at a provider edge routing device capabilities data representative of capabilities of computing devices disposed in a data center, the capabilities data having been published by an associated local data center edge device, and advertising, by the provider edge routing device, the capabilities data to other provider edge routing devices in communication with one another in a network of provider edge routing devices. The provider edge routing device also receives respective capabilities data from each of the other provider edge routing devices, wherein each of the other provider edge routing devices is associated with a respective local data center via a corresponding data center edge device, and stores all the capabilities data in a directory of capabilities. Thereafter, a request for computing services is received at the provider edge network and the methodology provides for selecting, based on the directory of capabilities, one of the data centers to fulfill the request for computing services to obtain a selected data center, and for routing the request for computing services to the selected data center.

    摘要: In one embodiment a method includes at first a network device, identifying an attribute of the first network device, selecting a function that defines how the attribute is to be summarized together with a same attribute of a second network device, generating a message that comprises a set of information comprising an identification of the attribute and the function, and sending the message to, e.g., a next higher node in a network hierarchy of which the network device is a part. Multiple such messages may be received at an aggregation node that then summarizes the attributes according to respective functions, and sends or publishes a summarized version of the attributes to a still next higher node in the network hierarchy.

    摘要: Techniques are provided to move the services performed on one device to another device in a cloud computing system for a variety of reasons including failure, maintenance or upgrade of the device. A notification is received that services performed by an impacted device in a domain of a plurality of hierarchical domains need to be moved. A determination is made as to whether there are replacement resources available in the domain to perform the services, and if so, the replacement resources are automatically rendered to perform the services. The process continues to higher level domains that have a view into the capabilities of subordinate domains in order to determine where to move the services within the cloud computing system.

    摘要: The Switch includes a port configured to receive a command frame when installed in a switching Fabric. The frame identifies a source device and a destination device in the Switching Fabric, a command, and a read/write flag which indicates if the identified source intends to exercise read-only or write access to the destination device. The Switch also includes a processor coupled to the port. The processor is configured to trap the frame and prevent it from reaching the defined destination device in the switching Fabric if both the source and destination devices are in a read-only zone and the flag indicates that the source intends to write to the destination device. In this manner, read-only zones can be implemented in the Switching Fabric.
