Abstract: A method for generating a domain topology for a system, the method that includes accessing a functional model database, identifying, in a computing resource database, a configuration of components matching a functional model in the functional model database, generating a domain for the configuration of components, in a domain topology, and generating a graphical hierarchy of the domain topology and providing it to a user.

Abstract: A method for allocating stranded computing resources, the method that includes obtaining, by a virtual machine manager, virtual machine parameters for a virtual machine, identifying, in a computing resource database, a stranded computing resource satisfying the virtual machine parameters, allocating, to the virtual machine, the stranded computing resource, and initiating the virtual machine using the stranded computing resource.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a data center connectivity management operation. The connectivity management operation includes: providing a data center asset with a data center asset client module; establishing a connection between a mobile device application and a connectivity management system; submitting a request to the connectivity management system via the mobile device application to establish connectivity with the data center asset client module; establishing a connection between the data center asset client module and the connectivity management system based upon the request; and, exchanging information between the data center asset client module and the data connectivity management system via the secure communication channel between the data center asset client module and the connectivity management system.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing a data center connectivity management operation.
