Abstract: A system and method for supplying on-premise hyper-converged systems uses a cloud service to receive orders for the on-premise hyper-converged systems from customers and to request a system integrator to procure hardware components of the on-premise hyper-converged systems and to assemble hardware components to produce assembled systems. Software components are remotely installed and configured in the assembled systems from the cloud service using bring-up appliances in virtual private clouds created for the on-premise hyper-converged systems to deploy software-defined data centers (SDDCs) in the on-premise hyper-converged systems. The resulting on-premise hyper-converged systems with the deployed SDDCs can then used by the customers.

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.
