Abstract:
A system for managing networked devices comprising a plurality of racks of computing devices, each rack computing device further comprising a plurality of constraints and configured to operate one or more hosted systems, each rack comprising a bit vector stored in a data memory defining the minimum available set of constraints for each of the plurality of rack computing devices. A plurality of enterprises, each comprising one or more enterprise computing device configured to operate a virtual network system that is configured to interactively operate with the one or more hosted systems of one of the rack computing devices. A network function virtualization system configured to receive a service request and to determine that a new hosted system is required to respond to the service request, and to select a rack for instantiation of the new hosted system as a function of the plurality of bit vectors.
