    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve resource allocation for virtualized server systems. An example apparatus includes a resource identifier to identify a set of external storage resources when a host storage solution is not identified, a storage cost calculator to calculate a cost corresponding to the external storage resource set by comparing a parameter of an external storage resource in the external storage resource set to a requirement, a cost analyzer to determine whether the cost satisfies a cost threshold by comparing the cost to a cost threshold, and a workload domain allocator to allocate the external storage resource set to the workload domain when the cost satisfies the cost threshold.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to improve packet flow among virtualized servers are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory, and hardware to execute instructions to generate a load balance list identifying first ones of virtualized network resources having respective values of a utilization status parameter that satisfy a first threshold, in response to at least a number of the first virtualized network resources not satisfying a load balance list threshold, update the load balance list to additionally identify second ones of the virtualized network resources, the second ones of the virtualized network resources having respective values of the utilization status parameter that satisfy a second threshold, the first threshold different from the second threshold, and adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one or more of the virtualized network resources based on the load balance list.

    Abstract: A disclosed example includes determining that first virtual machines (VMs) corresponding to a first percentage resource utilization indicative of resource usage of a first rack cause the first rack to generate a threshold amount of heat; determining, based on a second percentage resource utilization indicative of resource usage of a second rack, to migrate the first VMs to the second rack to reduce a temperature in a first room by at least the threshold amount of heat; migrating the first VMs from the first rack of the first room to the second rack of a second room; placing the first rack in a low-power state based on the migration of the first VMs to the second rack; and sending a temperature control signal to a climate control system to adjust a cooling process of the climate control system based on the first rack being in the low-power state.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first network slice selector that assigns data messages to a first set of network slices that each comprises an ordered set of network services. The method receives a data message originating from an electronic endpoint device. A second network slice selector previously (i) assigned the data message to a first network slice of a second set of network slices and, (ii) based on the assignment of the data message to the first network slice, provided the data message to the first network slice selector. The method assigns the data message to a second network slice from the first et of network slices. The method provides the data message to a first network service of the selected second network slice.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first network slice selector that selects network slices for connections from endpoint devices located within a first geographic range. The method selects a network slice for a connection between a mobile endpoint device and a network domain that originates when the mobile endpoint device is located within the first geographic range. The method stores state that maps the connection to the selected network slice. The method forwards data traffic belonging to the connection from the mobile endpoint device onto the selected network slice using the stored state. After the mobile endpoint device moves from the first geographic range to a second geographic range, the method receives data traffic belonging to the connection from a second network slice selector that selects network slices for connections from endpoint devices within the second geographic range and forwards said received data traffic onto the selected network slice.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to perform network fabric migration in virtualized servers are disclosed and described. An example apparatus a layer detector to determine a first network fabric layer of a communication network by sending a first probe packet from a first network resource to a second network resource via a communication link and determine to migrate the first network fabric layer to a second network fabric layer based on whether the first network resource receives a reply probe packet from the second network resource in response to the first probe packet. The example apparatus further includes a layer migrator to when the first network resource receives the reply probe packet from the second network resource in response to the first probe packet, migrate the first network fabric layer to a second network fabric layer based on configuring a remediation path and migrate the remediation path from the first network fabric layer to the second network fabric layer when the first network fabric layer migrates to the second network fabric layer.
