Abstract
Systems and methods address automated temporally based configuration management of a procurement/deployment process that may be used at one or more data centers. A set of current configuration attributes and current parameter settings are maintained for a one or more data centers. Information may be obtained from a purchasing system describing a future device. Prior to actual arrival of the future device, the configuration for that future device may be defined. Upon detection of the uniquely identified future device being communicatively coupled to a management network, the previously defined configuration may be applied. Abstraction from a high-level to vendor specific configuration commands may also be incorporated to allow management of devices from multiple vendors.
