    Abstract: Technologies for providing efficient pooling for a system that includes a hyper converged infrastructure. A sled of the system includes a network interface controller that includes a first bridge logic unit to communicatively couple to a network of bridge logic units. The first bridge logic unit is further to obtain, from a requestor device, a request to access a requested device, determine whether the requested device is on the present sled or on a remote sled different from the present sled, selectively power on, in response to a determination that the requested device is located on the present sled, the requested device, communicate, in response to a determination that the requested device is on the remote sled, with a second bridge logic unit of the remote sled, and provide, to the requestor device through the first bridge logic unit, access to the requested device

    Abstract: Mechanisms to enable management controllers to learn the control plane hierarchy in data center environments. The data center is configured in a physical hierarchy including multiple pods, racks, trays, and sleds and associated switches. Management controllers at various levels in a control plane hierarchy and associated with switches in the physical hierarchy are configured to add their IP addresses to DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) responses that are generated by a DCHP server in response to DCHP requests for IP address requests initiated by DHCP clients including manageability controllers, compute nodes and storage nodes in the data center. As the DCHP response traverses each of multiple switches along a forwarding path from the DCHP server to the DHCP client, an IP address of the manageability controller associated with the switch is inserted. Upon receipt at the DHCP client, the inserted IP addresses are extracted and used to automate learning of the control plane hierarchy.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method to dynamically compose network resources are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a network management fabric controller may include a module, in response to a request for a network service, that is to identify a child pool included in a particular network service pool, from among a plurality of network service pools associated with respective network services, that is capable of providing the network service, the child pool comprising identification of one or more particular ports of a particular compute node switch within the network; and another module that is to establish a connection between a compute component and the one or more particular ports of the particular compute node switch and between the one or more particular ports of the particular compute node switch and one or more particular ports of the main network switch in accordance with the particular network service pool.
