Abstract
The invention provides a method and system for continuous optimization of a data center. The method includes monitoring loads of storage modules, server modules and switch modules in the data center, detecting an overload condition upon a load exceeding a load threshold, combining server and storage virtualization to address storage overloads by planning allocation migration between the storage modules, to address server overloads by planning allocation migration between the server modules, to address switch overloads by planning allocation migration mix between server modules and storage modules for overload reduction, and orchestrating the planned allocation migration to reduce the overload condition in the data center.
