APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DATA CENTER MIGRATION

摘要

An apparatus and method for selecting a data center. For example, a method in accordance with one embodiment comprises: generating a query for information related to data centers, the query directed to data storage containing data center information; performing a lookup in the data storage using the query to generate a set of data center candidates; prioritizing one or more of the data center candidates for a cloud user based on requirements specified by the cloud user including cost requirements indicating a threshold cost value for data center usage, performance requirements including a threshold performance value, and/or reliability requirements including a threshold reliability value; and choosing one of the data centers for the cloud user based on the prioritization.
