Abstract

A computer-implemented method for determining, from a system including a plurality of data center resources, at least one configuration of data center resources for an implementation of an application. The method includes receiving application information and receiving information regarding known internal features up the data center resources. The method also includes provisioning the system of data center resources and creating possible configurations of data center resources for implementing application. The method also includes correlating models and data center resources to create an interrelated representation of the models and the data center resources. The models predict a relationship of parameters for the possible configurations. The method also includes creating a multiple dimensional analysis of parameters for the possible configurations of data center resources using the interrelated representation and selecting a configuration of data center resources from the possible configurations using the multiple dimensional analysis of parameters.
