Abstract: A computer server software system implemented on a computing device comprises a bare metal automation interface, a request processor, a scheduler, a vendor non-specific bare metal interface, and an orchestration engine. The bare metal automation interface is configured to receive requests for configuration of one or more of a plurality of servers. The request processor is configured to receive the requests from the bare metal automation interface and to forward the requests. The scheduler is configured to receive instructions from a runtime environment in which the computer server software system operates and forward the instructions. The vendor non-specific bare metal interface is configured to interface with a plurality of vendor-specific server interfaces, wherein each vendor-specific server interface communicates with a server from the specific vendor. The orchestration engine is configured to execute a workflow for the requests from the request processor and for the instructions from the scheduler.
